Tuition & Financial Information

Unless otherwise informed, we assume at the time you enroll your child(ren) at HCES, you are committed to keeping your child(ren) at our school for the entire coming year. Most of the decisions regarding staff, room assignments, curriculum, and equipment purchases are made on the basis of an estimate of the number of students enrolled for the coming year as of April 1, of the preceding year. The following financial policies were formulated for this reason. Please read the following very carefully. If you have questions regarding this policy, feel free to contact the school office for clarification.

Costs 

  • Registration/ Application Fees: Registration fees are due and payable when the application is submitted. Registration fees are per student and are non-refundable. If you are interested in enrolling but are not sure enough to pay the non-refundable fees, we encourage you to have your child(ren)'s name put on a waiting list. The office staff will make an effort to keep you informed about the availability of open slots.
  • Class Fees (Middle Grades): These fees partially cover textbooks and other materials used in the classroom. They are non-refundable, and do not give ownership to classroom texts.
  • Withdrawl:  Because of the financial commitment made by the school in the spring for the following year, anyone withdrawing from the program after June 1 prior to the school year, is required to pay a pro-rated tuition amount based on the school's 20 day withdrawal policy. To avoid this penalty, parents must officially notify the school of a withdrawal prior to June 1 for the coming school year.

  • Parent and School Partnership Policy: In order to keep our tuition at a minimum and continue to provide our students with quality care and a safe positive environment, the following requirement is being made for all HCES parents. Our desire is that the partnership developed from this policy will foster a spirit of unity within the school. Families are required to choose one of two options:
  • Pay a $250.00 work fee (per family) to help cover the cost of on-going grounds and building maintenance and improvements.  This fee is due on or before October 1. or work a minimum of 30 hours per school year in a variety of positions. e.g.: hot lunch program, classroom helpers, organizing fund-raisers, annual work days, extracurricular activities, sports programs and various administrative projects.  Please refer to the HCES Parent Partnership Agreement for a full list of ways to get involved.

 

✞ Horizon Christian Schools ✞

FACTS Tuition Management:  All tuition and fees are paid directly to FACTS Tuition Management and NOT to Horizon Christian Schools. The only exceptions to this are the Application Fee (new students only), the Registration Fee (due with registration paperwork) and Athletic Participation Fees (team sport athlete's only, grades 5-12). Each new family must establish an account with FACTS Tuition Management and select a payment option. Students will NOT be considered enrolled and will NOT be allowed to attend classes until a FACTS account has been established. PLEASE NOTE that FACTS does not accept personal checks (credit card or ACH withdrawals only). Monthly payment due dates are established by each family through FACTS. Monthly payments must be maintained and all accounts that are in excess of 60 days in arrears will trigger an immediate loss of student enrollment. Unpaid accounts in arrears will be turned over to a local collections agency, and the family will be responsible for all fees associated with collections.

Mid-year Admission:  If a student is admitted after the school year begins, tuition payments will be prorated for the balance of the school year. The tuition can be paid in one lump sum or monthly beginning with the month of registration.

Withdrawal Policy:  The 30-day withdrawal policy goes into effect June 1 of the current year for the coming school year. Those who might withdraw after June 1 for the coming year will be billed for 20 school days from the date the HCES Early Withdrawal Form is received, regardless of whether any school days in fact exist in the thirty (30) days immediately after withdrawal.  Any outstanding fees owed, including the fees for the school days after withdrawal, are due and payable immediately upon withdrawal. This policy is in effect to protect the school from the financial harm caused by late withdrawals.  From September through January 15 of the current school year, a thirty-day prior written notification is required if a parent wishes to withdraw a student without being charged for an additional 20 school days. For withdrawal with less notification, one month's tuition will be charged.

Final Withdrawal date policy for current year:  Students who withdraw after the final withdrawal date will be charged the remainder of the tuition amount for the school year, regardless of the 30-day notification. From September to the final withdrawal date, a thirty-day prior written notification is required if a parent wishes to withdraw a student without being charged for an additional 30-day period. For withdrawal with less notification, one month's tuition from the day of notification will be charged. After the final withdrawal date of the current school year, the remainder of the year's tuition is required, regardless of the 30-day notification. Exceptions are made to this policy when circumstances warrant special consideration and prior administrative approval has been granted.

Discharge:  A student may be discharged from school if payments are more than 60-days in arrears.

Reinstatement:  Reinstatement will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the administration and/or the school board, or the elder board of Horizon Community Church. A reinstatement fee of $75.00 will be charged per occurrence.
