Tuition

The school undertakes a significant financial obligation in hiring teachers, purchasing books and supplies, maintaining the facilities, and operating a school.  The only way that the school can meet this obligation is by the regular prompt payment of tuition and fees by parents/guardians. When school administrators and parents work together, it is possible to offer an education of high quality, which provides spiritual, moral and intellectual development of the student.  The purpose of the Educational Services Agreement is to identify those areas where mutual cooperation is essential, and to make clear the mutual expectations of school administrators, parents, and students.  Failure to cooperate makes it very difficult to provide a good education.

Yearly Tuition:                                                                 

• $2,250 per child in K4                                       
• $2,800 per child for K5                                     
• $3,000 per child from grades 1-6                  
• $3,250 per child from grades 7-8                  
• $3,530.50 per child from grades 9-12     

 

Family Tuition Discounts

The following family discounts are cumulative and is only available to parents and legal guardians of children:

• 2nd child:         $600.00 off
• 3rd child:          $1,000.00 off
• 4th child:          $1,500.00 off

Please note that discounts will be prorated depending on the date of enrollment.
      
The payment plan for each family is stated in the Educational Services Agreement.  If the individualized plan requires installment payments, those payments are due on, or before, the last business day of the month.  The grace period for late tuition payments has been extended from five (5) days to fifteen (15) days. A fee of $20.00 will be charged for late payments.  Parents/guardians must make payments directly to the Business Office Parents should refrain from giving excessive amount of cash to the students to make tuition payment. Mount Carmel School will not be held responsible for loss of such cash.  Mount Carmel School will not accept post-dated checks, nor will it re-accept checks from individuals who have issued a "non-sufficient funds" or “closed account” check to the school.

If a student new to the island is accepted mid-quarter, payment is due for his/her tuition for the full quarter in which the student has been enrolled.           

Failure to make payment may result in your child(ren) not receiving final assessment services, which will, in turn, result in an “incomplete” reflected in your child(ren)’s transcripts. Consequently, failure to make payment will result in lack of grades that qualify a student for the President’s List and Honor Roll.
 

Tuition Policy

Mount Carmel School may determine the need to raise tuition rates in order to continue providing a quality education in fulfillment of its mission and philosophy. Should the school determine that a tuition increase is necessary, the following procedures will be followed:
 

• Any increase in tuition will first be discussed with all school stakeholders—parents, faculty, and students—through their respective governance bodies, the Parent Council, the Faculty Council, and the Student Council. The presidents of these councils will, in turn, share their findings and positions with the school’s Leadership Team and the school’s Board of Directors during budget and planning meetings.
• Any increase in tuition must be finalized at least six months before the start of the school year in which the increase will be effectuated.
• No tuition increase will exceed 2% in any given school year.

Other Fees/Charges

All other fees/charges must be paid at the business office.
