Have questions about tuition or financial aid?

Scholarships & Tuition Assistance

Every family registered in the school is eligible for need-base assistance if available. The school board works continually to balance the needs of parents with the budgetary needs of the school. The school board will strive to make scholarships & tuition assistance available and interested parents are encouraged to apply online at online.factsmgt.com. However, every family should know that we cannot fund a total educational packet for their children. Our commitment is to work with the parents who recognize that they too must make a financial commitment so that their children may benefit from our outstanding program.

Deposits and Fees

• Registration Fee: A non-refundable Registration Fee of $50.00 is required for each student applying to ASA. An application will not be considered until this fee is paid.
• Supply Fee: A non-refundable Student Supply/Activity fee of $400.00 per full-time students, or $300 for the half-day students, is due each year prior to the start of school and will be included on the August billing. The Student Supply/Activity Fee cannot be included in the monthly payment alternative.
• Tuition Deposit: A non-refundable Tuition deposit fee of $250.00 per family (including returning students) is required by January 15 each year and will be credited towards the August billing. This fee serves as a reservation for a student’s place and helps us plan for the next year.

Payment Options

ASA operates solely on revenues received from tuition and fundraising. Tuition rates are established by the school board and are based on the budgetary requirements of the school. Therefore, timely tuition payments are required. Checks not honored by the bank for any reason are not considered payment and are subject to a $25 returned check fee.

• Paid in Full: The annual tuition is due in full by August 1, prior to the start of the school year.
• Semi-Annual Payment: Tuition is split into 2 equal payments, due by August 1 and January 1, and will include a 2% payment fee.
• Monthly Payments: For families paying tuition on a monthly basis, a 4% monthly payment fee will be added to the tuition. Monthly payments are due by the 1st of each month in 10 equal amounts from August to May.
• Midyear Enrollment: New Students enrolling in ASA after the school year has started will be billed for the remainder of the year and payment is due prior to attending classes. Families electing to use the Monthly Payment option will be billed upfront for the first two months, then monthly through May as stated above. Payment for this billing is due prior to the student attending classes.

Tuition payments are due on the 1st day of each calendar month; accounts become past due if unpaid by the 10th of the month and will incur a late payment fee of $25. Accounts unpaid over 30 days from the due date will automatically generate a review and begin to incur interest at the rate of 18% per year. For accounts that are past due by 30 or more days, the school reserves the right, in addition to any other remedies, to withhold grade reports, refuse to provide services to the student and/or expel the student.

Payment Method

ASA’s tuition and fees are payable by cash, check or money order as outlined above through the ASA Office. Additionally, you may pay by Credit/Debit Card or Bank Account Transfers (ACH) online thru your student’s Brightwheel Account (additional fees may apply).

Development Program

Agia Sophia Academy’s Board is responsible for fundraising programs. These programs ensure the school’s financial stability, help regulate tuition rates, and support growth. Parents are expected to contribute time, treasures, and talents, to ensure the success of these programs.

Our Parent Teacher Partnership (PTP) directs a fundraising requirement in which each family raises $200 in profit for the school each year. In addition, parents must provide the school with 10-20 hours of volunteer work. For more information, see our Policy Handbook.

Tax-Deductible Gift

Tuition only covers approximately 60% of the cost of education per school year. Total cost is estimated to be as much as $12,100 per student. Families who are able are asked to make a tax-deductible gift above the tuition charged to assist in covering the actual education.
