Each family receives a digital tuition contract that outlines their financial responsibilities for the academic year. Here’s how to understand the key parts.
Sections of the Contract:
Student Info- This section lists the student covered under the contract. It ensures accuracy in grade level, enrollment year, and program participation so that the tuition and fees align with your child’s specific needs.
Household Info- Here you’ll find the details for the household(s) responsible for tuition payments. This includes guardian names, contact info, and whether the contract is part of a multi-household agreement. It helps define financial responsibility and communication permissions.
Tuition Breakdown- This section provides a transparent overview of all tuition charges, fees, and applicable discounts. It’s where you’ll see the total cost for the academic year, including any deposits, materials fees, or optional services.
Tuition Insurance- If your school offers tuition insurance, it will appear as a line item during contract signing. This coverage is designed to protect your tuition investment in the event of an unforeseen withdrawal. See the Tuition Insurance article for additional details.
Payment Plan Options- Choose the payment schedule that works best for your family. Options typically include a single full payment, a two-payment split, or a multi-installment plan, with details on due dates and any associated service fees.
Deposit- A required upfront payment to secure your child's enrollment. The deposit amount and due date are set by the school and will be listed as a line item in your contract. It is typically due at the time of signing.
Signatures & Permissions- This final section captures your official agreement with the contract terms.
I think there’s an error in my contract. What should I do?
If you believe there is an error in your Contract, such as incorrect tuition amounts, student information, or guardian details, please contact your school directly. They will be able to review and make any necessary updates before you proceed. We recommend not signing the contract until the issue has been reviewed and corrected.
