1. PAYMENT IN FULL – CASH, CHECK, MONEY ORDER, OR CREDIT CARD
Payment in full must be completed by September 15. Any family that pays in full by August 15 is granted a
$100.00 discount off the price of tuition. Any family with more than one student enrolled at the same time will
receive a $1,000.00 discount on each student after the first. All returning families, whether they choose to pay
in full or make monthly payments, are asked to make a $1,000.00 Registration Deposit towards tuition by April
4, 2011. This deposit is non-refundable after June 15.
2. SMART TUITION AUTOMATIC TUITION PAYMENT PLAN
St. Mary’s has contracted with the Smart Tuition management company to provide for automatic monthly
deductions from a specified bank account, or charges to a specified credit card. Payment in full must be
completed by April 15. The earlier payment is begun, the smaller the monthly installments will be. A large
down payment may be made to reduce the monthly cost. All families wishing to make payment through the
Smart Tuition program are asked to make a $1,000.00 Registration Deposit towards tuition within one month
after acceptance. This deposit is non-refundable after June 15. Application forms and information pamphlets
are available in the school office.
No student will be allowed to begin taking classes without submitting the properly completed Registration and Health Forms and acceptance of one of the payment plans by the responsible parent.
