1. Application Fee A non-refundable $50 application fee is required with each new application. 2. Bond A $1000 Bond is paid by each family attending the school. One half ($500) is due within two weeks of acceptance to hold the child's place in class, and is non-refundable if the child does not enroll.

The entire Bond becomes refundable once the child is enrolled and may be redeemed on October 31 following the last school year attended, or upon leaving the school with 3 months written notice. 3.
