Tuition Protection
The cost of a quality private school education is substantial. At Monte Vista Christian School, we recognize that sometimes in life circumstances arise that might require a student to withdraw during the school year. Because payment for tuition is nonrefundable, non-waivable it may be in the best interest of parents/guardians to see some form of tuition relief should such a situation arise.
The purpose of the Tuition Protection Plan is to allow partial refund/waiver of tuition owed under the annual tuition contract in the event of a student’s withdrawal or dismissal. This plan provides a means to recover a percentage of the fees paid/or waiver of a percentage of fees owed for tuition if a student withdraws 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 and 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:
