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.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT PAYMENT INFORMATION
- Tuition is charged on a yearly basis, and may be paid by the year or on a 10-month payment schedule (see #2 below). The yearly tuition, or the first tuition payment, is due July 1 and must be paid by July 1 to ensure your child’s reservation in the classroom.
- 10-Month Tuition Payment Plan: The first tuition payment on the 10-month schedule is due July 1 (non-refundable) with each succeeding payment due on the first of the month through May 1 (except for August 1 when textbook fees are due; there is no August tuition payment). Payments may be made online through our website or by check or cash. A $35 service charge will be applied for any check returned unpaid due to insufficient funds. WCS takes payment by credit card with a 3.5% Convenience Fee added.
- A full month’s payment is due if the student attends any day in the month. Also, tuition must be paid for any month a student is absent if he plans to continue at WCS upon returning or reenroll for the upcoming year.
- Payments Past Due: A late fee of $25 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 and up to date on or before the last day of each month may not be allowed to attend Westgate Christian School until the account is up to date or financial arrangements have been made.
- Students enrolling after September 30: Tuition is prorated applicable to the months remaining in the school year. At least one month’s payment is due in advance.
