Tuition & Financial Information

Tuition and Financial Policies

Unless otherwise informed, we assume at the time you enroll your student(s) at HCHS, you are committed to keeping your student(s) 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

  • Application Fee: Prior to registering a new student in grades 9-12 there is a one-time, non-refundable application fee of $75. This fee covers the cost of evaluating the student to determine that there is a good match between what would best serve the student and what the school can offer. Provided that we can meet the student's needs, registration may proceed.
  • Registration Fees: There is an annual registration fee (see the fee schedule) to enroll a new or returning student. Payment of this fee is the foundation of planning and preparation for the new school year and is non-refundable and non-transferable.
  • Parent Partnership Agreement: In order to keep our tuition lower but provide the best possible academic experience for the cost, parents are required to choose one of two options of service to any one of the schools:  Option #1: Serve a minimum of 30 man-hours per family per school year. Please refer to the HCS Parent Partnership Agreement for a list of ways to get involved. Families will be billed for the time not served on 5/1. Option #2: Pay a $250.00 service fee (per family). This fee is billed on or before 10/1.

Fee Payments

Tuition fees are charged on an annual basis, but may be paid in a single installment (3% discount if paid by July 1 prior to the school year) or in monthly installments (12 months beginning July 1 or pro-rated based on registration date). Tuition fees must be paid in full by June of the respective school year. Students will NOT be considered enrolled for the new year until their financial account for the previous year is settled. Graduating seniors will not receive their diploma until all tuition and fees are paid in full.

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.

Other Fees:

  • Returned Check Fee: A fee of $40 will be assessed for a check returned by the bank for any reason. This is charged in addition to any late fees that might be incurred.
  • Incidental Fees: There are several incidental fees that are listed on the fee schedule. Most of these fees are optional. One that is assessed for cause is the damaged/lost book fee. If non-consumable textbook is lost or damaged (outside of normal wear and tear), a fee to cover the cost of replacement will be assessed.
  • Withdrawals: All unpaid tuition and fees are due at the date of withdrawal. If tuition has been pre-paid then a pro-rated amount will be refunded to the student based on the date of withdrawal.
  • Discharge: A student will be discharged from school if payments are more than 60 days in arrears.
  • Reinstatement: A reinstatement fee of $75 will be charged per occurrence.
  • Late Fee: If a tuition payment is not received by the established due date a late fee of $35 per student will be assessed to the account. This fee will be assessed each month the payment is late.
