In consideration of the acceptance of this Enrollment Agreement by and between The Legacy School, Inc., a Maryland corporation (hereinafter “the School”) and the undersigned for the 2027-2028 school year, the undersigned agree to pay the full tuition in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Enrollment Agreement and/or with the terms and conditions of this agreement in conjunction with any financial aid award received. The Non-Refundable Registration Fee of 10% Total Annual Tuition must be paid directly to the School.

The balance of Total Annual Tuition may be paid in one lump sum directly to the School by August 28, 2027. Otherwise, the tuition balance must be paid with one of the payment schedules (2-pay, 4-pay, 6-pay, or 10-pay) offered by the school, utilizing only a direct debit payment method selected by the School. Bills for books, supplies, speech-language pathology, bus service, Parent’s Association fees and other incidental charges (collectively, but without limitation, these incidental charges are referred to as “Incidental Charges”) are billed directly by the School and are due and payable to the School upon billing. A $35.00 late fee is due to the school if the undersigned’s invoice for Incidental Charges is not paid within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice.

Please complete this Enrollment Agreement and return NO LATER THAN TWO WEEKS AFTER DATE OF RECEIPT:

Non-Refundable Registration Fee (10% deposit due at the time of signing–will be automatically billed through FACTS): $3,400.00

Balance of tuition due after deposit: $30,600

$400.00 technology fee also billed on August 2, 2027

III. We, the undersigned, understand that the obligation to pay the Total Annual Tuition for the full academic year is unconditional. We also understand that the School, in reserving a place for this Student, is relying upon our promise to pay the tuition as it budgets the school year for all the students and no portion of the tuition paid or due will be refunded or canceled notwithstanding the subsequent absence, withdrawal, or dismissal from the school. We further understand that the School has the right to withhold transcripts and records, disallow the Student to continue to attend classes, cancel parent/teacher conferences, take any examination or participate in any extracurricular activities unless or until tuition and other charges are paid to date. We understand that a LATE FEE of $35.00 per month will be applied to all payments thirty (30) days after the due date.

IV. The School believes that a positive and constructive working relationship between the school and the Student’s parent(s) is essential to the fulfillment of the School’s mission. Therefore, the School reserves the right not to continue enrollment or not to re-enroll the Student if the school concludes that the actions of a parent(s) or guardian(s) (whether such parent or guardian is a party to this Enrollment Agreement, or not) make such a positive or constructive relationship impossible or seriously interfere with the School’s accomplishment of its educational purposes. If a parent or guardian behaves in a hostile manner towards any staff or engages in behavior that undermines the teacher-student relationship, they will be notified by the School that they are on probation with reference to this clause. Should the difficulty in forging a positive and constructive relationship between school and home continue, this clause will be immediately invoked, and the decision of the School in these regards shall be final. There will be no refund of Total Annual Tuition, or any portion thereof, where such enforced withdrawal occurs and any unpaid balance is payable in full at the time of the decision.

V. The School reserves the right to remove a Student at any time if the Student’s effort, progress, conduct or influence on campus are not keeping in with the School’s standards. Those standards are set forth in the Mission Statement and Philosophy of the School contained in the Family Handbook, which the undersigned agrees to follow. There will be no refund of Total Annual Tuition or any portion thereof where such enforced withdrawal occurs and any unpaid balance of Total Annual Tuition and/or Incidental Charges is payable in full at time of withdrawal.

VI. Unless terminated earlier by the School in accordance with the terms of this Enrollment Agreement, the term of this Enrollment Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date, as defined below, and shall expire upon the Student’s graduation or upon the Student leaving the school. Successful completion of the current Academic Year, however, is required for re-enrollment of the Student for the next Academic Year.

VII. The Non-Refundable Registration Fee of 10% of the Total Annual Tuition for the renewed upcoming school year is due upon signature of this contract. If the deposit is not paid, but an Enrollment Agreement is submitted to the business office of the School nonetheless, then there will be a late charge of $35.00 for each month or part of the month the payment is not received. In addition, failure to pay the deposit timely may jeopardize enrollment for the Student for the upcoming school year. VIII. The undersigned shall have the right to cancel this Enrollment Agreement or a renewal after paying the 10% Non-Refundable Registration Fee. In that case, an additional cancellation fee of 5% of full tuition for each month or part of a month is assessed after June 1 based on when the cancellation notice is received. The maximum possible tuition owed for cancellation after June 1 is 25% of the full tuition (10% non-refundable registration fee plus 5% of the full tuition for each of the three months (15% of the full tuition). The notice that this Enrollment Agreement is canceled must be received by the School’s business office before August 1 of the upcoming school year. Cancellation notice and payment of prorated Total Annual Tuition as set forth in this Section VIII must be sent to School by certified mail, messenger, or delivery service so that delivery can be tracked and verified. Confirmation of receipt of the notice to cancel this Enrollment Agreement shall be confirmed by the School in writing in a letter to the undersigned. If all applicable fees are not paid in full and the proper notice given by August 1, the undersigned will be responsible for payment of the full tuition for the upcoming school year. These strict provisions are required in order to allow the School to budget properly to serve all students effectively.

IX. The School’s acceptance of this Enrollment Agreement is contingent upon the Student’s satisfactory completion of the current school year and the Parent(s)’ or Guardian(s)’ satisfactory discharge of all outstanding financial obligations. Student may not attend the first semester classes if hisher Total Annual Tuition account or Incidental Charges account have an outstanding balance. Students may not attend class at any time there is an outstanding balance for Total Annual Tuition payments or outstanding balance on the student’s Incidental Charges that is over sixty (60) days late. Unpaid bills at Academic Year’s end preclude release of transcripts to other institutions andor year end reports of grades to parents.

The Legacy School is strongly committed to providing a research-based education for children diagnosed with language-based learning differences, such as dyslexia and dysgraphia. In order to provide an individualized program for each student, research informs us that we must be diagnostic in our approach. When teachers are committed to a diagnostic way of teaching, they keep careful data and design treatment plans based on the data collected. Legacy’s datakeeping system differs substantially from that of any county located in Maryland. We sometimes refer to this data as Benchmarking. Parents may request a copy of their child’s benchmarking along with our scope and sequence or any other data at any time, and they can use this data in any way they choose.

IEPs: The IEP system is utilized in the public school system by all of the surrounding counties. The Legacy School does NOT use this system. About half of our families wish to either maintain an older IEP (one developed prior to coming to Legacy) or are currently developing an IEP with the purpose of seeking funding from the county and must use Legacy’s data to write their child’s next IEP.

Once the county becomes involved in our data-collection, this places a significant administrative burden on the School. Each county requires: teacher interpretation of our data system, goals and objectives from our treatment plans, e-mail correspondence explaining our program, scheduled observations, present-level statements from multiple teachers, an attendance record (a different form for each county), a statement of expenses (a different one for each county), meetings between our administration & the county’s case manager.

Because of the substantial administrative documentation and communication required by each county when we are asked to assist with the IEP process, we are instituting an administrative fee of $2,750.00 per student that is triggered when Legacy School is asked to interact with the county in any capacity. This fee will go towards reorganizing our administration to assist with the extra workload the counties require.

Included in the Fee: This $2,750.00 administrative fee includes: 1) conferring with the county regarding your child’s present levels and progress; 2) submitting benchmarking, curriculum and any other requested documentation directly to the county, 3) scheduling and reserving Legacy classroom space for county observations, county testing and/or meeting with the county following observations; 4) filling out attendance records for the counties; 5) preparing billing statements to your county’s specifications and 6) meeting with county representatives.

Not Included in the Fee: Interaction with Special Education attorneys and attendance at IEP meetings are services that are NOT included in the fee. If Legacy is asked to: 1) interpret your child’s benchmarking and standardized testing for your attorney; 2) write a detailed report or letter regarding your child’s program and progress to be entered into the record at an IEP meeting; or 3) attend IEP meetings (whether on Legacy campus or in your home school), these services fall outside of the realm of the school completely and will be billed to you directly by the individual(s) asked to provide their expertise in the matter.

Terms of the Fee: The fee will be assessed to your incidental account as soon as Legacy receives a request from the county to conference with them regarding your student. It does not matter when during the year the request is made; the process with each county is time-consuming and cumbersome regardless of when we start conferring with them. There will only be one fee assessed per academic year. If you are seeking reimbursement from the county, you may include this administrative fee as a cost-line item. If the county is billing Legacy directly, we will bill them the administrative fee. If your child is in the 8th grade and transitioning back to public school, the fee will not be billed as it is considered part of the Legacy School’s help with your child’s transition process.

I understand the terms surrounding the School’s administrative fee for consulting with the surrounding counties, and I agree to pay the administrative fee if The Legacy School is asked to assist with the IEP process.
