Registration Steps:
1. Please complete the online forms listed below.
2. Register for FACTS Tuition Payments
FACTS is our online tuition payment system and is mandatory for all families. It is used for monthly tuition payments as well as all one-time incidental fees (Registration fees, PTO dues, Field Trip fees, After School or Before School care, etc.) and is the only form of payment accepted.
Even if you plan on paying in full OR attending on tuition assistance or scholarship, you still MUST register for FACTS to pay your registration fee.
3. Pay the $150 registration fee for PreK–8th-graders ($100 for each additional child)
This fee will be added to your FACTS account as an incidental payment once you register for your account. This is a mandatory step and your application will not be processed until this fee has been paid on FACTS.
