Payment Options
Students are enrolled for the entire academic year. There are two ways in which tuition can be paid. Both plans require families to sign an enrollment contract and pay a non-refundable reservation/enrollment deposit of 10% of tuition, which must accompany the enrollment contract. This deposit will be credited to tuition.
- Single payment plan gives you the convenience of writing one check to cover tuition for the year (tuition balance after deposit, due June 1).
- 10-month payment plan gives you the flexibility of paying over a ten-month period, from June 1 through March 1. Arranged through FACTS Tuition Management, this program automatically deducts your payments from an account you designate on either the 5th or the 20th of each month. No interest is charged for this service, but there is a one-time set up fee. If you choose this plan, you will be required to purchase Tuition Refund Insurance.
Under both plans, tuition refund insurance is available through A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. This plan provides partial insurance coverage in the event of a separation or withdrawal from CDS for a variety of reasons. The premium for this plan is based on net tuition (full tuition, less deposit), and for 2011-12 is 1.7% of net tuition. Enrollment is handled by automatic billing on the June statement. Families using the ten installment plan are required to purchase tuition refund insurance; the school strongly suggests that all families purchase tuition insurance.
Tuition does not cover the entire cost of educating a child at CDS. During the year, we will ask you to contribute additional financial support to the best of your ability to our fundraising programs.
