St. John the Beloved Parish
School Tuition/Fee Policy

St. John the Beloved Parish believes that tuition payments are an investment in your child’s education and religious formation. Therefore, Finance Council, Principal and Parish Administrator or Business Manager make a recommendation to the Pastor for the amount of tuition, method of payments and general overall policies regarding this area. The operation of the school is primarily tuition driven, therefore parental or guardian commitment to their tuition and fees are crucial to the school’s operation and vitality. It is also the responsibility of the Principal, Finance Council and Pastor to ensure that enrollment is available and affordable as possible to all families.

TUITION RATES

The tuition rates are set each year as outlined above and published by the School Principal.

FEES

New Student Application Fee – A nonrefundable application fee of $200 per new student is due and payable when forms are submitted to the school office.

Re-Registration Fee – A $150.00 non-refundable re-registration fee per family is due on either November 5th or November 20th each year.  This fee will be direct debited from your Smart Tuition Account.   It is the responsibility of the parent to contact the admission's office at 998-5525 ext. 200 or This email address is being protected from spambots.

New Student Acceptance fee – A $200 non-refundable fee to hold placement for the next school year is due and payable upon acceptance of a new student. This fee is a per family basis.

TUITION

St. John the Beloved uses Blackbaud for its tuition processing and collection. All parents MUST register and maintain an account in Blackbaud. There are NO exceptions. All tuition payments can only be made by two methods.

Pay in full – Full payment for the school is to be made by July 31 of the new school year.

Monthly – Monthly payments will be made over twelve months beginning in July of the new school year via an ACH transaction. Families may choose either the 5th or 20th of the month to have their bank account debited.

Any fee related to a tuition payment made by a parent/guardian to their Blackbaud account such as NFS, stop payment or late fee will be applied to the parent/guardian Blackbaud account by Blackbaud.

Upon the acceptance of a family at the School, an 'Acceptance' Agreement will be sent to the family outlining the amount of tuition and other policies related to the child’s schooling. This agreement must be signed and returned in order to finalize and reserve the child position in the grade. A child's spot is confirmed once the 'Tuition' Agreement is signed and returned.

There will be no other tuition payment plans other than what is outlined above. However, should a severe financial hardship arise, please contact the the School's Business Manager. Your situation will be reviewed by the Finance Council, Business office, Principal and the Pastor and you will be contacted with a decision regarding your tuition payments.

WITHDRAWS

If you choose to withdraw your child/ren from St. John the Beloved School, please contact the school office for an exit interview.

REFUNDS

St. John the Beloved contracts with faculty, staff and vendors for the entire year. In order for the School to meet these obligations, the parent/guardian assumes the obligation for all tuition payments. Therefore, no refunds will be given after July 1st.

DELINQUENT BALANCES

By January 2 of the current school year, 50% of the annual tuition balance must be paid in full in order to register for the following school year.

By June 30 of the current school year, the remaining balance must be paid in full in order for a re-registered student to enter the following school year.

Any time before 8th grade graduation, all delinquent balances need to be brought to a current status in order for participation in graduation ceremonies and other events.

When tuition is delinquent for two months in a row and there has been no contact from the family with the Parish Office and/or School Admissions, enrollment will be terminated.

FINANCIAL AID

All financial aid requests need to be made through the online FACTS process. FACTS is a third-party vendor used by The Diocese of Wilmington to conduct their financial needs assessment. The Diocesan Share In The Spirit Education Fund allows families to apply for financial aid/tuition assistance in January of each year for the next school year. The school will notify families when the Diocese opens the application process and will provide the website link. The application is made through FACTS, NOT through the Parish. The Parish has a financial aid policy and uses the FACTS application for determination. Please see the Parish Financial Aid policy on the school website.
