It is the desire of Community Christian Academy to maintain the lowest possible tuition and still be able to offer a quality education. Each year, a review of operations and expenses is conducted. Then, by the first of May, the tuition for the upcoming year is announced.
The total annual tuition is due upon registration and acceptance of student in enrollment at CCA. However, for financial convenience, the total tuition may be paid by using any of the following payment plans:
1. ONE ANNUAL PAYMENT — The total annual tuition is due on August 1. (Tuition will be reduced by $200 for using this method). If payment is not received by August 5, the account must be set up for monthly automatic draft.
2. TWO EQUAL PAYMENTS — One half of the annual tuition payment is due on August 1, and the remaining half is due on January 2. (Tuition will be reduced by $100 each payment for using this method). If payment is not received by the 5th of the respective month, the account must be set up for monthly automatic draft.
The above payment plans offer a discount and they must be paid by the 5th of the month in which the payment is due. If not paid by the 5th, the discount will be forfeited and the account will be converted to a monthly payment plan.
3. TEN EQUAL PAYMENTS — The first payment is due on August 1, or at the time of registration after August 1. The remaining nine months payments are due on the first of each month, September through May, and will be automatically drafted from the provided account on the first day of each month, August through May, for 10 payments.
All monthly payment plans will be set up for automatic drafting from a provided checking account. Monthly statements are e-mailed around the 20th of each month. Payments may also be made via automatic billing to a credit card, and a 3% Convenience Fee will be added to each payment.
