Policies - Accounting and Fees
Registration Fees
In order to register, all previous balances must be current. The Registration Fee is per student, payable at the time of registration. Partial registration fee can be refunded in the event the student withdraws before the beginning of school. This yearly fee includes all books and materials, yearbook, and student accident insurance.
Tuition
As many of you know, MCA is totally self-supporting except for the rent-free building. Beyond that, we pay for everything out of tuition and registration payments.
We have on occasion raised our tuition due to inflation, etc., but have been able to maintain a relatively low tuition compared to many private schools.
Those who regularly attend and support Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa may apply for a Calvary Chapel family tuition discount at the time of registration. The determining criteria include both regular attendance and a regular consistent pattern of tithing at least one year prior to enrollment.
Leaving During the School Year
- If you are leaving the school, you will be refunded or charged on a cost-per-day basis. Thus, if you leave during the school year, you will be charged for the total days your children were enrolled.
- Make sure you formally notify the school office. If you fail to notify us, it will be assumed that your child is still enrolled and you will be charged accordingly.
Tuition Payments
We are using a coupon installment system for the receiving of your payments. The coupons will be issued or mailed to you before the first payment period. We ask
that you please mail or deliver your payments, together with the appropriate coupon to the address printed on top of the coupon. Please make sure your account number is on your check and your envelope is labeled, "Attention: Accounting." If you pay in cash, please make sure you are issued a receipt at the time of payment.
Late Fees and Past Due Accounts
- Tuition is due on the first of each month beginning in August. Any payments not received by the first of the month will be considered past due. A 15-day
grace period is allowed. Payments received after the 15th day of the month are assessed a $20 late fee. When the 15th day of the month lands on a weekend,
the grace period is extended to the next business day.
- If your account becomes past due two (2) installments, we will allow until the 15th day of the month to clear your account. If it is not cleared, your children
will be withdrawn from the school.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is available October through May of each school year. If you need financial assistance for a particular month, please fill out the application available in the school office and return it by the third Monday of the month prior to the month you need assistance. You will be notified by mail as soon as the application is processed. This money is made available through the body as a help to those who are in temporary financial stress. It is available to you when needed. You must submit a new, completed application for each month you need assistance. You may apply up to three consecutive months. If you receive financial help for three months in a row, you will not be eligible for the fourth month. After the month of not receiving aid, you may then again apply.
