Tuition
Payment Policies
A tuition discount of 5% will be granted if the full year's tuition
is paid before September 10. In families with more than
one child-if only one child's tuition will be paid in full, it
must be the amount for the oldest child. Discounts are given
to families for enrolling more than one child as reflected in
the rate chart above.
All tuition accounts are set up on a ten-month pay plan. The
ten-month plan requires paying one-tenth of the tuition amount
each month beginning August 1 and ending May 1. Payments are
due on the first of each month. Any special tuition arrangements
must be submitted to the Administrative Office in written form
for approval.
If payment is not received by the tenth day of the month, a late fee of $20.00 will be added. Balances not paid by the end of the month will incur interest of 1½% added to the unpaid balance. Each month thereafter, interest of 1½% per month will be added to the unpaid balance. Any tuition account over 30 days past due may result in expulsion of the student(s). For your convenience, payments may be made at your child's school office or mailed to the Administrative Office at 2356 Clay Road SW, Austell, GA 30106. There is a $20.00 charge for returned checks. All accounts must be paid in full by May 1.
Cumberland Christian Academy is a corporation and must maintain a regular cash flow for the express purpose of meeting operating expenses. Therefore, this tuition payment policy must be the agreement between school families and the members of the CCA Board. Students who have tuition accounts over 30 days past due or have an outstanding balance at the end of the school year will not be allowed to graduate, receive school records, or re-enroll for the next school year until past-due accounts are paid.
Registration
Applications for new students must include a $100.00 non-refundable
application fee. Upon acceptance, an additional $350.00 matriculation
fee will be due. Refer to CCA's Admission Policy in its entirety.
Registration is opened to new students on March 1.
Currently enrolled students whose tuition accounts are not past due are allowed a discounted re-enrollment fee by registering early for the next school term. Early registration begins on February 1 and ensures a place for your student(s).
Other
Fees and/or Optional Costs
· Beta Club -
High school students chosen for membership in the CCA chapter
of the National Beta Club will be asked to pay a one time fee
of $10.00 which provides a certificate, Beta pin, The Beta
Journal, and a seal for the diploma at graduation. Students
are chosen for Beta Club membership on the basis of scholastic
average, Christian character, credible achievement, and commendable
attitudes as observed by the school staff.
· Library fines - A fine of $.10 per day is charged for
overdue library materials. Report cards and permanent records
may be held for unpaid library charges.
· Lunches - K5 through 12th grade students may bring their
lunches from home or purchase foods from our lunch program. The
lunch program varies from campus to campus.
· Textbooks - Students are held responsible for any textbooks
issued to them. Please be aware that if, for example, a book
is taken out of a locker or desk, the student to whom it is assigned
is still responsible for it. Because misused, stolen, or missing
textbooks will have to be replaced by the student, it is recommended
that the student use extreme care.
· Other planned activities - Other events, such as field
trips or special banquets/dinners, will be announced throughout
the school term. For some activities, special T-shirts may be
available for purchase
Fundraising
All CCA families are encouraged to become actively involved in
fundraising functions. Families who choose not to participate
in fundraising activities are urged to increase their tuition
payments by 10%.
Early
Withdrawal Policy
It is assumed that an entering student is enrolling for the entire
year, therefore school budgets are set accordingly. If a student
withdraws before the end of the school year, a 30-day advance
written notice is required. At that time and in addition to the
tuition due, an early withdrawal fee, equal to 10% of the yearly
tuition for this school term will be charged. After all fees
are paid and withdrawal forms have been turned in, records will
be available at the end of the next regular business day.
Transcripts
Transcripts will be released upon the request of parents and
forwarded to the school desired, provided all accounts are current.
Transcripts will not be sent if tuition has not been paid in
full. After all requirements have been met, records will be released
at the end of the next regular business day.
