2010-2011 Tuition and Fees

Tuition is not merely a payment for a service; it is an investment in a life. Washington Christian Academy is committed to providing a life-transforming experience for every child and family in the school community. It is to achieve that end that the Board, with administration input, establishes tuition each year.

Installment Plans for Tuition Payment

Annual Installment Plan All tuition and fees remaining after payment of the non-refundable Tuition Deposit are due on or before July 1, 2010. WCA will bill you for this amount.
Semi-Annual Installment Plan Fifty percent (50%) of the tuition and fees remaining after payment of the nonrefundable Tuition Deposit is due on or before July 1, 2010, and the balance is due on or before January 1, 2011. WCA will bill you for these amounts.
Monthly Installment Plan The tuition and fees remaining after the payment of the non-refundable Tuition Deposit will be paid by the use of pre-authorized bank drafts drawn by The FACTS Program for WCA on the contracted party's checking or savings account on the fifth or twentieth day of each month in twelve equal installments beginning July 5, 2010. (When the payment date during a month falls on a weekend or bank holiday, the draft will be drawn on the following business day.) If the Enrollment Contract is executed after June 20, 2010, the deposit plus any monthly installments that would have fallen due are due with the executed Contract. Individual arrangements are made for enrollments after September 1, 2010. All families choosing the Monthly Installment Plan must enroll in the Tuition Refund Plan
Credit Card Plan Families may choose to pay any of the above plans by credit card. All credit cards payments will be processed through FACTS and are subject to a 2.5% convenience fee. You must be enrolled in the FACTS program in order to use this option. Mastercard, Discover and AMEX are accepted for credit card payment; VISA is not.

Fees

New Student Application Fee A non-refundable fee of $100 per student must be paid at the time of application.
Registration Fee All families pay a non-refundable Registration Fee of $150 per family.
Non-Refundable Tuition Deposit A non-refundable Tuition Deposit must be paid for each student with the submission of an Enrollment Contract. The amount of the non-refundable Tuition Deposit for each student shall be equal to $500 divided by the total number of students.
Facts Fee All families who pay on a monthly installment basis will pay an annual fee of $41. FACTS will automatically debit your bank account for this amount when you enroll in the program. This fee is in addition to the convenience fee paid by credit card payers.
Tuition Refund Plan (TRP) The TRP premium is 2.6% of tuition. Families choosing the Monthly Installment Plan must participate in TRP. FACTS will automatically debit your bank account for this amount with your first tuition payment. If you voluntarily elected to participate in TRP in Paragraph 29 and chose the Annual or Semi-Annual Installment Plan, WCA will bill you and this amount is due with your first tuition payment, but no later than July 1, 2010.
Returning Families Late Fee A late fee of 5% of the amount of the full tuition must be paid with the submission of an Enrollment Contract by returning families after April 1, 2010.
Late Payment Fee WCA may assess a late fee of 1% or $15, whichever is greater, on the first day any amount becomes delinquent and an additional 1% or $15, whichever is greater, for each additional month that the amount remains delinquent.
Contract Change Fee If after June 1, 2010, the Undersigned changes installment plans or adds TRP coverage for any reason, including being required to do so by WCA because the Undersigned failed to make full payments when due under the chosen installment plan, the Undersigned agrees to pay immediately a contract change fee of $50. For this purpose, the effective date of any such change shall be when WCA receives a request for such a change in its Business Office.
