tuition and fees
Sea Crest School is committed to doing all within its means to make the Sea Crest experience affordable. Tuition costs are determined by our Board of Trustees, who take into account the rising cost of educating a child, economic diversity of student population and the operational costs of running a school. Tuition for the 2009–2010 school year has been set at $13,880. For families with multiple students enrolled at Sea Crest, we offer a 10% discount for the second student, 20% for the third student, and 30% for the fourth student.
In addition, families pay annual program fees that cover costs such as classroom supplies, class pictures, yearbooks, assemblies, field trips, and more. Program fees for grades K–3 are $400 and $500 for grades 4–8.
Returning families pay a $2,000 non-refundable deposit to Sea Crest in February to hold a space for their child(ren) for the next school year. New families must pay the $2000 non-refundable deposit by mid-March. Families receiving financial assistance pay a reduced amount, specified in their contract. After that, families are asked to pay tuition using FACTS, our tuition management company. We offer three payment schedule options:
- annual payment paid in one installment, due June 1
- bi-annual payments to be paid in two installments, due June 1 and December 1
- nine monthly payments, due the first of each month from June through February
- 12 monthly payments
Families choosing either the bi-annual or monthly payment plans are required to buy Tuition Refund Insurance. More information about payment plans and tuition refund insurance will be included with your contract.
