Continuous Enrollment
LCCS operates using a “continuous enrollment” model so that there are no lengthly forms or paperwork to complete each year. Enrollment simply automatically renews annually until graduation. Early withdrawal policies to reflect a prorated tuition refund/forgiveness schedule for students who withdraw early.
What is continuous enrollment?
Continuous enrollment means that students will be automatically reenrolled each year until graduation unless parents/guardians notify the school of their intent to withdraw. With continuous enrollment, the process is streamlined, and you will only need to update your information as changes occur. This tells us that you want your child at LCCS until graduation (unless you choose to opt out). It also guarantees your child’s spot at LCCS for each subsequent year.
Policies for Early Withdrawal
Students who voluntarily withdraw or are dismissed from LCCS before the end of the school term will be granted a pro-rated refund/forgiveness on their tuition commitment according to the following schedule: From July 1 - August 31, students who withdraw will be refunded 75% of the total tuition; from September 1 - October 31, students who withdraw will be refunded 50% of the total tuition; from November 1 - December 31, students who withdraw will be refunded 25% of the total tuition. No tuition refund will be possible after December 31. All tuition and fees owed are due and payable at the time a student withdraws or is dismissed from LCCS. This policy is necessary because of the significant overhead expenses the school incurs on an annual basis when a student enrolls (teacher salaries, curriculum materials, school supplies, etc.) that do not diminish with the withdrawal of a student.
The following scenario provides an example: If the total tuition owed is $10,000 and a student withdraws on November 1, the parent/guardian owes a total of $7,500 (75% of tuition) regardless of their tuition payment plan.
If you would like to withdraw your student for the following school year, you must notify the Head of School and Admissions Office in writing by February 28.
