Fees, Tuition and Scholarships

Registration Fees

The registration process is tedious, time consuming, and costly for a school as large as St. John\'s. To help offset the cost of processing paperwork, maintaining computer and accounting records, and to purchase supplies, the Center collects an annual registration fee.

Tuition
Tuition fees are the only source of income for the Children\'s Center.

Tuition Deposit
A tuition deposit is also collected at the time of enrollment. The tuition deposit is $100. The deposit is held in reserve and applied to your child\'s final two weeks tuition at the time of withdrawal. The amount of the deposit will be reviewed annually at registration time and will be adjusted, up or down if needed, when the child\'s enrollment and tuition changes. Adjustments in the tuition deposit will also be made when there is a significant change in enrollment during the year. Tuition deposits are non-interest bearing. The Board of Directors will consider reducing the amount of Tuition deposit when the full deposit causes a serious problem for the family; in making its decision, the Board considers family income, family size, and level of need. Tuition deposits are refundable when appropriate notice of withdrawal is given in writing. If notice is not appropriately given, the tuition deposit is forfeited. (Details are in the Handbook available at the Center). This gives the Center a reasonable amount of time to fill the vacant space.

Scholarships
Scholarships may be awarded by the Scholarship Committee of the Board of Directors on an as-needed basis. Applications are available from the Center Director.

Scholarships may be awarded for one school year only. Families must re-apply each August if they wish to be considered for another year.

The Scholarship Committee considers family income, family size, and level of need in making awards.

Scholarships are reviewed quarterly to determine if the family situation has changed and if the scholarship is still warranted.
