Escondido Adventist Academy

About Escondido Adventist Academy

TUITION RATES
Tuition does not cover the full cost of operating Escondido Adventist Academy. Members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church support Adventist education with substantial church and conference subsidies. Therefore, students and/or families who are members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church are charged the SDA subsidized rate.

TUITION BILLING PROCEDURES
For your convenience, the annual tuition charge is divided into ten installments and billed August through May. The monthly installment plan is designed to help parents spread the cost of tuition over ten months and does not signify the cost of education per month. No refunds will be made for a partial month upon a student's withdrawal. A monthly statement will be sent to the responsible party on the first day of the month.
Tuition is due on the 10th of each month. A late fee of $10.00 per month per student will be charged and family discounts will be forfeited if payment is not in the office by the 25th of each month. A history of checks returned for insufficient funds may result in a request that payments be made in cash or money order.

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
No account will be allowed to be more than sixty days past due. The student will be placed on economic suspension if the account is not cleared. Students with past due accounts may not be allowed to take exams. Participation in extracurricular activities involving additional costs may be curtailed until the account is paid in full or satisfactory arrangements made. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the school Finance Committee or its designee. Students graduating from 8th or 12th grade will not be allowed to take final exams, participate in graduation, or receive a diploma unless the account is paid in full.

COMPREHENSIVE FEE
The comprehensive fee covers student accident insurance, technology, yearbook, Home and School Association dues, elementary day field trips and class parties, high school class and student association dues. The comprehensive fee is non refundable after the first ten days of school. For students registering for the second semester only, the comprehensive fee will be pro-rated at 75%.
