The fees associated with attendance at Whitefield Academy fall into several categories. An
Enrollment fee (which includes base tuition and food service) is required
to secure enrollment and is specific to the Payment Schedule in the enrollment contract.
Required (Middle and Upper school textbooks; uniforms at all grade levels),
and
Discretionary (extra-curricular activities and equipment, Lower School after school care programs, and academic tutoring services) fees are the responsibility
of each family and are in addition to enrollment.

All amounts 15 days past due (refer to payment schedule) are subject to a service charge of $75 and an additional $75 for each 30 days late thereafter. Late charges are calculated
and billed on the last day of the month. When any portion of any account becomes greater than 45 days in arrears, Whitefield Academy may, in its sole discretion, deny class attendance
and participation in other school activities, withhold academic reports and transcripts, and revoke the enrollment contract. Any payment returned is subject to a $35 processing
charge.
A 10 percent non-refundable deposit is due with the enrollment agreement. No student will be considered enrolled until the enrollment deposit is received. There
are four payment options available for the balance due after making the deposit. These options are:
- Pay the balance in one full payment, due no later than June 1, 2012. Payment can be made by cash or check to Whitefield Academy. A one percent discount may be taken if choosing
this option and payment is received before June 1.
- Pay the balance in two equal payments, due June 1, 2012 and September 1, 2012. Payment can be made by cash or check to Whitefield Academy. This is the default option if no other
option is selected at the time of enrollment.
- Pay the balance in up to nine equal payments made each month beginning June 2012 through February 2013 by enrolling with FACTS (a third-party tuition management company). Payment
will be automatically processed monthly from your bank account or by charging your credit card. An enrollment fee of $41 per family will apply.
- Pay the balance in a lump sum or installments by credit card using FACTS. An enrollment fee of $41 per family and a convenience fee of 2.5 percent of the payment amount will
apply.
A payment option must be selected at the time of enrollment. If a FACTS payment option is not arranged by June 1, payment option two will be assumed and fees and charges will
apply accordingly. No other payment options or terms will be available.
