Tuition and Fees
Registration Fee:
The registration fee is equal to one month’s tuition, which will become part of the tuition that includes all materials and textbooks. Only one-half of the registration fee is due at registration when the application is signed, and the other half is due thirty days from that point. This registration fee is non-refundable. These fees do not include uniforms, meals, back-pack as needed.
Annual Tuition:
Tuition may be paid annually or monthly. Payment can be made by check or cash. Tuition is due on the first of each month. A $20 late fee shall be charged after the 10th of each month.
Multi-student discounts are given for families with more than one student enrolled at FBA. Annual tuition is discounted 10% for the second child. A 20% discount is given to any additional students following the second child.
A one time payment option is available which entitles you to a 5% tuition discount, but does not include the multi-student discount.
Tuition is not deductible in case of illness or school holidays.
Withdrawal Fee:
It is assumed a student is enrolling for the entire year, and budgets are set accordingly. Students who withdraw before fulfilling the financial contract must submit a 30-day written notice. All paid fees are forfeited and a two-month withdrawal fee will be assessed. Report cards and/or official/unofficial transcripts are released to the parent or other schools only when the student s account is paid up to date. In case of an extenuating circumstance the Director, with the input of the school board, will make the final decision.
Curriculum Fee:
This is a one-time fee that is assessed in September of each year which covers curriculum and technology upgrades.
Testing fee:
This fee covers any placement testing if needed during the admissions process. This fee is due at the time of testing and is non-refundable. Not all admissions require the test.
