About Christian Academy Of Lawrenceburg

Financial Information
The Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg has recently partnered with the leading tuition management service in the nation. FACTS currently serve more than 4,000 schools and nearly one million families. For more information about FACTS you may review their web site at www.factsmgt.com.

Tuition Payment Options for 2011-2012 include:
Full payment of tuition - if paid in full by August 1, a 4% lump sum payment discount is applied.
Automatic monthly payment through the FACTS Payment Plan. Payments are made over a 12-month period beginning July 1st or a 10-month period beginning August 1st.
Tuition payments are non-refundable.
When a student is enrolled in CAL, a place is reserved for the entire school year. The school makes an annual commitment to provide school resources, so an annual commitment is required of the family.
We offer, through FACTS, two different payment dates (5th and 20th) for tuition payments. Tuition is considered late if you miss your scheduled withdrawal. Bank fees and late fees will be assessed according to bank and FACTS policy. If the account becomes delinquent, report cards will be held and the child may be withheld from class until arrangements are made. Parents whose tuition accounts are delinquent will not be able to re-enroll their children without satisfying previous debts. Payments must then be kept current in order for their child to remain on a class list. The Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg utilizes a third party, comprehensive account management system for delinquent accounts.
Board Approved Tuition Policy: Tuition and other fees are necessary in order for the Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg to successfully fulfill its mission. Families are asked to meet financial obligations in accordance with the standards of biblical stewardship.

CAL observes the following tuition policy:
The enrollment fee and instructional fees are non-refundable.
The re-enrollment fee is non-refundable unless for any reason we do not re-admit your student. ï‚· Withdrawals after June 1 but prior to the start of school are subject to the following financial obligation: (a) After June 1 - three-months tuition due (b) After July 1 - five-months tuition due ï‚· One year's tuition is due if a student withdraws after the beginning of the school year because the hiring of teachers and staff and the ordering of textbooks and other classroom materials are based upon anticipated enrollment. Student records will not be release until the account is paid in full. Parents will be expected to honor their full year's commitment to the school.
Requests for exceptions must be addressed to the Board in writing, and will be considered only in extreme circumstances.
Tuition that becomes two months past due will subject the student to being withheld from attending school until such amounts due to CAL are made current.
Enrollment Fee: $150.00 for new students (per family) or $50.00 for students re-enrolling (per family). Please make payment in the CAL office.
Instructional Fee: The school requires a non-refundable instructional fee per student to complete the enrollment process and reserve placement. If instructional fees are not paid by May 1st, a $25 late fee will be added. Please make payment in the CAL office.
