COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL 

FINANCIAL POLICIES 2023 - 2024

TUITION SCHEDULE

*In addition to our multiple child discounts, we also offer Tuition Assistance. Both these options help offset the overall tuition price for qualified families.

ENROLLMENT FEE:

The Enrollment Fee for newly enrolled students grades K5-12 is $300.00 and must accompany a completed application. Students will not be placed on the class roll and a place cannot be reserved for them in a class until the Enrollment Fee is paid. The Enrollment Fee is non-refundable or transferable. This fee will be refunded if for any reason we cannot accept a student or a parent’s employment would cause them to move away from the community before the beginning of school. (Refunded upon request of records from new school). For two or more children, there is a cap of $600.00.

NEW FAMILY FEE:

For new families, there will be a $500.00 new processing fee, with a cap of $1,000.00, that can be paid upfront or included in your tuition payments.

RE-ENROLLMENT PROCESS:

The Re-enrollment process for current families begins with the submitting of their completed Intent Form by February 28. The Re-enrollment Fee for grades K5-12 will be $250.00 per student with a cap of $500.00 per family. After March 1, the Re-enrollment Fee for all students in grades K5-12, new or returning, will be $300.00 per student with a cap of $600.00 per family with the submission of the Intent Form. 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 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 by the May 30th deadline to be enrolled for the upcoming school year. After May 30, there will be a $100.00 fee for applying for Tuition Assistance.

TUITION PAYMENT PLANS:

Each family is asked to choose a tuition payment plan each year. We ask that you wait until the next school year before changing to another plan. Payment is due on the 1st of every month and is considered late 30 days after the 1st. Annual Tuition will be prorated when enrollment is finalized after October 1st. This prorated amount will not include July, August, or September’s tuition.

NC OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS:

Each student's balance of the tuition not covered by the NCSEAA program will be due on December 15th for the first semester, and May 15th for the second semester. For example, if the NCSEAA awards $5,000, and you have an elementary student, the balance owed would be $1,320 for the school year.

CREDIT CARD PAYMENT TERMS / RETURNED CHECKS:

For all payments made with a credit card, a 3% fee per transaction will be added to cover the school’s processing costs. (For example, a $100.00 charge would incur an additional $3.00 process fee.) If there is one unpaid (30 days) or Non-Sufficient fund payment on your tuition account, your child will not be allowed to come back to CCS until all payments are up to date. There will also be a $35.00 fee charge added to your account if a check is returned for non-sufficient funds.

ATHLETIC FEES:

If your student (Grades 6th – 12th) is interested in playing sports at CCS for the school year, a $175 fee per athlete, per season is required, or $350 max for the entire year per student, up to two seasons. (Ex. Families who pay for fall and winter sports - 2 seasons - will not be expected to pay for spring sports.) Football is the only exception. The football fee is $275.00 with a max of $400.00 per athlete, per year. 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.  *CLICK HERE TO PAY ATHLETIC FEES ONLINE*

WITHDRAWAL AND DISMISSAL:

Withdrawal from CCS must be made through the school office. Upon withdrawal or dismissal from school, report cards, and academic records will only be forwarded when tuition and fees are paid in full and when textbooks, athletic uniforms, etc. are returned and all accounts are cleared. There is a $500.00 withdrawal fee per child once the school year has begun. CCS reserves the right to stop service at anytime if it is determined we can no longer serve your family. Tuition payments are not refunded due to a withdrawal, unless a family is relocated due to a job related move that is >50 miles from our campus. Upon relocation, CCS must receive a “Request for Records” form from your new school to confirm address change.  

REPORT CARDS:

In order for a student to receive his/her report card, the account must be up-to-date by the last day of each nine weeks. Otherwise, the parents must come to the office, pay the balance owed, and pick up their child’s report card. Any family that has an account balance 30 days or older will have to withdraw their child/children until the account is up-to-date. Absences due to overdue balances will be unexcused and will follow the student handbook regulations.

MISCELLANEOUS FEES:

Fees such as the Senior Trip (if your child is a high school senior), club fees (if applicable), or various field trips, etc. are not included in tuition and must be incurred by the family based on participation.

RESOURCE FEES:

If your child is in need of resource, we do offer this support. However, this is also an additional fee. There is a $100 enrollment fee and the monthly rates are as follows:

Consultative $60.00 per month for 10 months (Aug-May), Part-time $90.00, Full-time $150.00

EXTENDED CARE SCHEDULE (K5-6th grade only):

Extended child care includes before/after school care, summers, and school breaks (not including inclement weather days or CCS Day Care holidays). Before school care begins at 7:30 a.m. and is no charge. If extended childcare is not included, the following fees apply.

ANNUAL FUND:

A yearly tax-deductible gift is requested per family.  Families are asked to give their gift by December 31, so funds may be applied in the current school year.  Your gift, in any amount, to the annual fund is very important, and every family is asked to give. The contributions to the annual fund will provide additional financial resources to improve and expand the overall programs of CCS.
