One of the goals of Westgate Christian School is to provide a high-quality education at an affordable cost. We fully recognize the financial commitment and sacrifices involved when parents enroll their children in a private school. We are thankful for our WCS families who believe that a Christ-centered education is a worthwhile investment that provides abundant returns, both in this life and in eternity. At the same time, we do ask for faithful and prompt payment of all accounts so that we can meet our institutional obligations to care for our staff, maintain our facilities, and advance the educational program for our students.

The following fee structure has been established for the 2012-2013 school year.

Registration Fee

• K4-Grade 12: $100 per student per year
• Non-refundable
• Due at the time the student's application is submitted
• Includes processing fees, student insurance, NWACS membership dues, and achievement tests

Textbook Fees

• Due August 1
• Charges vary according to grade or class requirements (Textbook lists will be provided.)

Tuition

• Tuition is charged on a yearly basis, but may be paid by the year (2% discount), by the semester, or on a 10-month payment schedule. The first tuition payment is due July 1 and must be paid by July 1 to receive
  2% discount and to ensure your reservation in the classroom.
• 10-Month Tuition Payment Plan: The first tuition payment on the 10-month schedule is due July 1 (nonrefundable) with each succeeding payment due on the first of the month through May 1 (except for August 1 when textbook fees are due).
• Students enrolling after September 30: The first tuition payment is due in advance on a 9-month tuition schedule applicable to the months remaining in the school year at the time of enrollment.
• The full month's tuition is due if the student attends any day in the month.
• A late fee of $15 will be added for accounts not paid in full by the 10th of the month. Partial payment does not exempt the account from late fees. Any student whose account is not paid in full on or before the last day of each month may not be allowed to attend Westgate Christian School until such time as the account is paid in full or financial arrangements have been made. A $35 service charge will be applied for any check returned unpaid due to insufficient funds.
• Students who participate in the after-school activities program will be billed based on their utilization at a rate of $5 for each hour or portion thereof. Reduced rates are available for those who choose to pay monthly in advance.
