Tuition
Financial Information
A non-refundable annual registration fee—$75.00 for each child from a family—is payable each August 1st and at the time of enrollment. (This fee is waived for Cross of Christ members.)
Tuition is charged on a monthly basis and is payable in advance on/or before the 5th of each month.
Monthly tuition remains the same each month regardless of illness, absence, school closure and/or legal holidays.
There are currently two extra curricular activities that we charge fees:
Socceroos (soccer) Tuesday mornings $40 / month (offered to Bear Cubs & older)
Music Friday mornings $15 / month (offered to Bear Cubs & older)
A 10% sibling discount will be given (on the oldest child) to families with two or more children enrolled on a full-time basis.
The Ark is open Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 6:00pm. A late charge of $5 per minute will be assessed to those families picking up children after 6:00pm.
The Ark has a Scholarship Fund for any parents with financial needs. An application is filled out, then the Scholarship Committee makes a decision based on the information provided.
