How do we pay our Annual Student Commitment Fee
The Annual Student Commitment Fee will be added to a student's FACTS tuition payment agreement.
A family's tuition payment plan is set up at the time of enrollment and remains the same. If you wish to change a payment plan option, please reach out to student billing.
Are new students charged the Annual Student Commitment Fee?
New students who enroll at Dayton Christian are NOT charged this fee in addition to application, enrollment, and tuition fees. The fee is only applied to students returning the following academic year as part of the annual continuous enrollment process.
Why is it important to let the school know if we plan to withdraw?
Withdrawals have a significant impact on our upcoming school year. Plans are made well in advance for staffing, programming, materials, curriculum, and facility usage based on the number of students we expect for the school year. We strive to be fiscally responsible and to make wise decisions regarding our resources. For example, we make teacher hiring decisions each spring based on the number of students expected in each grade.
Also, demand for Dayton Christian has led us to create waitlists for some grades. It is important for us to know if a student is not returning so that we can notify waiting families that a seat is available for the following year.
Do I still need to contact the Admissions Office for any other reason?
After a student is enrolled at Dayton Christian, all matters regarding enrollment or family updates can be directed to a corresponding school level principal's office. Financial matters related to tuition payments can be directed to Student Billing.
The admissions office can be contacted if a family has another student who needs to go through the application process.
