Calvary Christian School, Wilmington, NC

Admissions

Procedure

To schedule a private tour, a meeting with our administrator or to simply request information please contact us at (910) 343-1565. You will receive a Calvary Christian School Packet, which includes additional information about our school and all necessary forms. Our school handbook and additional information may be downloaded directly from this website by visiting our Forms & Downloads Page

After meeting with our administrator and upon your student's acceptance into Calvary Christian School you will need to complete the registration forms and pay the registration fee. Upon satisfactory completion of necessary forms and payment of necessary fees, your child’s name will be placed on our student roster and class roll which will hold your child’s spot in the class.

Please note: All forms, including medical forms and school records (if transferring), must be received before your child can start school.

Finances

All payments due for tuition, book fees, registration and other special fees must be paid in accordance with our tuition schedule. No refunds will be made for fees. Accounts (other than tuition withdrawn by FACTS) not paid in full by the 10th of the month will be assessed a 15% late fee. A returned check fee of $25 will be assessed for each time a check is returned due to insufficient funds, closed account or stopped payment.

As of June 1, 2008:

In an effort to improve efficiency at Calvary Christian, as well as your overall experience with our institution, we will be transitioning to FACTS Tuition Management Company starting the fall of 2008. For those who are enrolled before July 1, 2008, the use of FACTS will be optional provided that their account remains current. However, in the event that any two payments are delinquent for the 2008-2009 school year, the account must be transitioned to FACTS in order to retain enrollment at Calvary. For those enrolling after June 30, 2008, FACTS must be used unless the total sum of tuition is paid in full before the first day of school. For questions concerning FACTS please visit their website at www.factsmgt.com or call the school office to speak with Karen Garris or Nick Smith. It should also be noted that all tuition payments will be handled by FACTS after the 2008-2009 school year.

FACTS is only being implemented to handle tuition. Extended care, lunch orders, field trip money, etc will be handled as is stated elsewhere in this handbook.

Delinquent Accounts:

Because of limited enrollment that supports our financial standing, it is understood that parents/guardians will pay tuition for the amount stated in the Schedule of Fees and Tuition. All fees and tuition must be paid before the report card will be issued at the end of each reporting period. Report cards will be held if an account becomes outstanding during any grading period or if satisfactory arrangements have not been made with the school. Any account is considered delinquent after 30 days and if all delinquent accounts have not been paid and brought current after a total of 90 days have lapsed, the student will be suspended until payment has been made. School records will not be released until the outstanding balance is paid in full.

Please go to the church office to make all tuition and Extended Care payments and a receipt will be given to you immediately. If you mail a payment, a receipt will be issued. If you do not receive a receipt, contact the office immediately. Do not send payments with students at any time. We accept check, cash, Discover Card, Visa and MasterCard. Please make checks payable to “Calvary Christian School” and write the student’s name in the memo line.

Other Money:

Money that is sent to the school for reasons other than tuition must be enclosed in a sealed envelope with the following information on the front:
1) Teacher’s name and room number
2) Amount
3) Purpose

Withdrawal Policy:

Official notice of withdrawal may come only from the parents/guardians and receiving the notice will determine the withdrawal date. A student not coming to school does not affect or set the withdrawal date. All tuition, fees and charges must be paid in full at the time of withdrawal before grades or school records will be released. Tuition will be pro-rated.

Refunds:

Paid registration fees will only be refunded in cases where a parent’s/guardian’s job relocation before the first day of school takes them out of New Hanover, Brunswick or Pender Counties. Emergency situations will be evaluated by the administration to determine eligibility for refund.
