Returned Payments and/or Overdue Balances

Sage charges a $25 fee per occurrence on late tuition payments and assesses a 2% per month late fee. Grades. Report cards will not be released until a family’s FACTS account is paid in full.

If neither the payment due nor satisfactory arrangements have been made within 60 school days after the due date, the student may be withdrawn from classes by the school. If this occurs, to re-enroll the full registration processes must be followed. Chronically past due accounts may be turned over to a collection agency and all collection fees will be the responsibility of the student’s parents or legal guardians.

Early Withdrawal

Initial acceptance and re-enrollment contracts with Sage School represents a binding agreement between a family and the school for the contract period, which is one school year. Because teacher contracts, school services, curriculum and supplies are funded and purchased at the beginning of each school year based on student enrollment, honoring the one-year contract period is necessary to ensure the school delivers the services agreed upon after students are enrolled. Prorated tuition for early withdrawal is the exception, and any family who desires to withdraw their student prior to the end of the school year is expected to honor the financial commitment for the one-year contact period. Exceptions are handled on a case by case basis and any requests for prorated tuition must be made in writing to the Head of School. In cases where prorated tuition is awarded, families will be charged a withdrawal fee of $300.
