Tuition Protection
At Monte Vista Christian School we understand that the financial cost of a quality private school education is substantial. Additionally, we recognize that sometimes life circumstances arise that might require a student to withdraw during the school year.
Therefore, we have adopted MVC’s Tuition Protection Plan (TPP). The purpose of the Tuition Protection Plan is to allow a partial refund and/or waiver of tuition owed under the annual tuition contract in the event of a student’s withdrawal or dismissal. Purchasing this plan is mandatory for all families utilizing a tuition payment plan (determined annually by MVC), and it renews automatically for each successive academic year until a student graduates from MVC. The Tuition Protection Plan enrollment fee for the 2025-2026 school year will be 2.5% of the original, undiscounted tuition rate applicable to each student. This plan is helpful for families as it provides a means to recover a percentage of the fees paid and/or waive a percentage of fees owed for tuition if a student leaves MVC before the end of the academic year.
For purposes of determining the amount of tuition refund or waiver, please note that tuition is calculated on the basis of eleven monthly segments, with the first two segments attributable to the months of June and July. Regardless of when a student withdraws from school, these two monthly segments plus all tuition through the date of withdrawal are not included in the amount of the tuition refund or waiver. These funds will not be refunded even if the student withdraws prior to commencement of the school year.
Tuition will be refunded or waived for the period following withdrawal for the reasons and at the percentages listed below:
Withdrawal for Medical Reasons..........................100% of tuition for period following withdrawal
Withdrawal for Non-Medical Reasons.................50% of tuition for period following withdrawal
Dismissal from School............................................25% of tuition for period following dismissal
Withdrawal for Medical Reasons
If a disability or mental health condition, verified by a licensed physician, prevents a student from continuing their enrollment for the remainder of the academic year, MVC requires a formal letter from the physician. This letter must explicitly state that the medical condition is the primary reason for the student's need to withdraw from MVC.
Withdrawal for Non-Medical Reasons
Withdrawal for non-medical reasons refers to any voluntary withdrawal, including but not limited to circumstances such as relocating, a parent’s change in employment, etc.
Dismissal from School
The student is dismissed from the school for academic or disciplinary reasons
