Tuition Payment Policy
Tuition for enrollment and attendance at City Tree Christian School (CTCS), and, if desired, extended childcare, is charged as an annual fee. Full Tuition may be paid in advance, and a discount of 5% will be given for full Tuition paid by the first week of July. Payment of Tuition may also be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments for preschool students, or nine and one-half (9.5) equal monthly installments for elementary students. The opportunity to make installment payments of Tuition is granted by CTCS solely for the convenience of the parent/guardian; and, even when the choice is made to pay Tuition in installments, the parent/guardian is obligated to pay the full annual Tuition sum. When the choice is made to pay Tuition in installments, the installments are payable regardless of holidays and vacations. Also, tuition payments are non-refundable, even though the student may be absent from school.
Tuition payments should be made using one of the following methods:
Checks [made payable to "City Tree Christian School"] should be deposited in the drop box outside the school office.
Checks may be mailed to the school, but must be received by the due date.
Cash payments must be made in the school office. The drop box may not be used for cash.
Electronic Funds Transfer is available and encouraged. Authorization Agreement Form for Pre-authorized Payments can be obtained from the school office.
All installment Tuition payments are due and payable on the 1st of each month; and a $30.00 late charge will be added on the 5th of each month to each payment not received. Payment must be received before the 5th to avoid the late charge.
If payment is not received by the 15th of any given month the student will be suspended from school until the balance is paid. If the student is suspended for nonpayment of Tuition, the parent/guardian will be assessed a $50.00 re-instatement fee, which must be paid before the student can return to the classroom. Tuition continues to accrue during suspension, and the balance due must be paid, along with the reinstatement fee, before the student may return to the classroom.
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) checks will result in a $30.00 charge (and an additional late charge if applicable), and require replacement in the form of cash or money order.
After a second returned check, all future payments must be made using cash or money order.
Three (3) or more late payments will require administrative review by the CTCS Board to determine if the student may continue attending CTCS.
Financial adjustments will not be made for illness, scheduled holidays or family vacations.
The Registration Fee is non-refundable and is not applied toward Tuition.
Accounts must be kept current to maintain priority registration status for the following school year.
Withdrawal from school requires written notice, given to the School office 4 weeks in advance of the planned withdrawal. Tuition will be due for the 4-week notice period regardless of whether the student attends school.
Childern are to be picked up on time. After-hours overtime charges will be assessed as follows: $1.00 for each minute past the student's contracted dismissal time, payable at the time the student is picked up. If charges are not paid at the time of pick-up, they will be added to the student's account and will be due in full along with the next scheduled tuition payment. The school closes at 6:00pm. In the event that the parent/guardian has not picked up the student, or contacted the school, by 6:30pm, the San Diego Police Department may be called to pick up the student.
