Itemization of Charges
The itemization below represents all the charges that will be required.
Tuition/Room and Board....................$22,000
Activities Fee.......................................$1,600
Personal expenses..............................see below
Personal Expense Fund
We require that parents establish a personal expense fund for their sons in the form of a debit card or prepaid credit card. We ask that you allow your son to have an allowance of no more than $20 per week. Typical allowances are $5 or $10 per week.
Tuition Discounts
The Academy does not have a scholarship fund. Limited financial aid is sometimes available in the form of tuition discounts, which we must recover through our fundraising efforts. Therefore, we ask that you carefully and prayerfully consider what you can pay for your son’s education.
Payment Plans
Tuition payments may be prorated semi-annually or over nine months. On a nine-month plan, payments are due on the date you choose (either the 1st or 15th of the month) from August through April.
Activities Fee
This fee serves as a resource to cover athletic expenses and uniforms, texts and classroom materials, and special extra-curricular events (skiing, museum and opera tickets, field trips, etc.). The Activities Fee is non-refundable if your son withdraws or is expelled during the school year.
Late and Non-payment Policy
If a payment has not been received within 30 days of the due date, and arrangements have not been made with the Headmaster, the student may be dismissed from the Academy. No student will be admitted to a new academic year until the previous year’s charges have been paid in full.
Withdrawal / Expulsion Penalty
If a student withdraws or is expelled from the Academy before the end of the school year, a penalty of $1,000 is due within 30 days. This policy is necessary because, as a boarding school, we can enroll only a certain number of students. Those applicants whom we were forced to turn away for want of space will have made other arrangements for the year by the time of such withdrawals. The Academy must operate on a budget, and each student is accepted with the expectation that he will complete the school year.
Prospective Financial Commitment
I understand that I will be asked to enter into a financial agreement with Gregory the Great Academy, and (check one)…
