Financial Policies - 2024-25

ENROLLMENT PROCESS

NEW FAMILY

The Enrollment Fee for newly enrolled students must accompany a completed application in association with initial admission to Community Christian School. Student places will not be reserved, and students will not be placed on a class roll until the Enrollment Fee is paid. Once paid, the Enrollment Fee is non-refundable or transferable. The Enrollment Dee for K4 is $175/child with a maximum of $350.00. The Enrollment Fee for K5-12 is $500/child with a maximum of $1000.00.  

CURRENT FAMILY

The re-enrollment process of current families begins with the submitting of their completed intent form by February 28 (29 in leap years). The re-enrollment fee will be $250.00 per student with a cap of $500 per family. After March 1, the re-enrollment Fee will be $300.00 per student with a cap of $600 per family.  

In cases where there is a waitlist, current families are given priority IF THEY RE-ENROLL BY FEBRUARY 28  (29 in leap years). After February 28 (29 in leap years), current families will be placed on the waitlist.  

Students with past due balances cannot re-enroll until the past due amounts are brought current. Any payments made on an account will be applied to the past due amount and will not hold a student’s place on class rolls. Families who are currently enrolled in the tuition assistance program and are re-enrolling for the upcoming school year must complete all forms and submit all required documents with their payments by May 30, 2024.   

TUITION PAYMENT PLANS

Each family is asked to choose one of the following tuition payment plans each year.  Once set, we ask that you wait until the next school year before changing to another plan. Tuition payments for FACTS drafts are considered late if not paid by the end of the month. Students will not be allowed in classes until payments are up to date. Tuition will be prorated when enrollment is finalized after October 1. This prorated amount will not include tuition for July, August, or September. If paid monthly, you are required to be on FACTS within 30 days of enrollment. Otherwise, there will be an additional monthly fee of $40.00.

NC OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS

Each student’s balance of the tuition not covered by the NCSEAA will be due on December 1, 2024, for the first semester; and May 1 for the second. The balance owed will be based on the difference between the NCSEAA award amount and the tuition for the current year and grade level.  

PAYMENT PLANS

AFTER CARE SCHEDULE

After care includes care for K4 and care for K5-6th.  The fees apply to the time from 3:15 to 6:00 (see above).  Drop-in rates apply to students that do not regularly attend after care.  

*$2.00 per minute will be charged for pick-up after 6:00 PM.

OTHER FEES

ATHLETIC FEES

The football fee is $275.00 per year. For each season, there is a mandatory parent meeting. The fee for missing this required meeting is $50 per athlete per sport. Athletic fees must be paid in full for each sport before a student can participate in the first scheduled game or event for that sport. Student fees are capped at two sports/ per year, so the maximum amount paid for a three-sport athlete is $450.00. These fees are regardless of tuition payment category.  Fees due for Fall sports must be paid before the first game.

A yearly tax-deductible gift is requested per family. Families are asked to give their gift by December 31. Your gift, regardless of amount, is used to provide additional financial resources to improve and expand the overall programs of CCS.  

CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS/RETURNED CHECKS

For all payments made with a credit card a 4% fee per transaction will be added. This fee is used to cover processing costs. If unpaid or a non-sufficient funds (NSF) is placed on the tuition account, the student will be asked to remain at home until payment is up to date. There is a $35.00 fee charge added to your account if a check is returned for non-sufficient funds.
