We believe that tuition payments are an investment in your child’s education and religious formation. Therefore, the Holy Family Academy’s Board of Education accepts responsibility for setting policies concerning the amount of tuition, the manner of payment, and in general, the development of policy in this area of concern. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the Board to insure that adequate financial resources are available for the school and that enrollment is as available as possible to all families.

Tuition Payment Options:

Full Payment Plan: Families may choose to pay tuition in full by June 5, 2020. A discount of 3% off the total tuition will be given to those families who choose this option.

Monthly Payment Plan: Facts Management has been contracted by Holy Family Academy to act as tuition manager for the school year 2020-2021. Payments will begin to be withdrawn in July (you have a choice of having payments withdrawn from your account on the 5th or the 20th of the month) and will continue for 10 months. The FACTS enrollment fee of $45.00 is paid by the families and will be deducted from their bank account at the time the contract is submitted.

Tuition payments will be based on the full tuition amount. All tuition credits will be awarded at the end of each school quarter.  Tuition credits earned after April 1 will be awarded in the form of a check if tuition has been paid in full.

Grant-In-Aid: 
A limited amount of tuition assistance is available from the parish for school families experiencing economic difficulties. Requests for such assistance should be made at the time of registration. The Diocese of Worcester has contracted with FACTS Management to coordinate financial aid. Holy Family Academy will depend upon these professionals to assist in determining financial aid amounts. Financial Aid applications are available in the school office.

Scholarships are available to registered students.

We encourage parents or guardians to contact the parish as soon as possible when they are experiencing economic difficulties.

Failure to make tuition payments in a timely fashion may result in the removal of your child/children from Holy Family Academy.

Late Registrations: 
Families registering after June 5, 2020 shall be expected to fulfill their tuition obligation according to the tuition policy.

Tuition for families registering on or after the first day of each school quarter shall be prorated over the time they will be in attendance according to a formula established by the School Board.

Late Payments: 
It shall be the responsibility of each school family to keep the tuition administrator informed of their need to make any changes in their tuition preferred payment plan or adjustments in the amount of tuition expected to be paid. Without such information, the following policy will apply when tuition payments are received late.
 

• Full Payment: If payment is not received on or before June 5th, the discounted rate of tuition will not apply. When full payment has not been made by June 5th, the family will be contacted within 5 (five) days by the tuition administrator concerning the missed payment date and alternative tuition payment options will be offered. If funds are not received according to the new agreement, all tuition payments shall be made through FACTS Tuition Management Plan.

• Monthly Payments: School families who choose the 10 (ten) month payment plan and miss a monthly payment due to insufficient funds will be assessed a $30.00 missed payment fee by FACTS and may incur a fee from their own financial institution. The missed payment will be reattempted by FACTS within 20 days.

Non-Admission of Students Due to Tuition Delinquency: 
School families failing to pay tuition according to the agreement which they made with the school, or who have been unwilling to make suitable alternative arrangements with the school, will be informed that their child(ren) will not be readmitted to our school.

Delinquent Tuition from Previous Year(s): All previously unpaid tuition must be paid by July 5, 2020 if a student is to be readmitted on the first day of class for the new school year. Payments are to be made directly to the school. If payment is not possible, suitable arrangements must be made with the school administrator.
 

*****REGISTRATION FEES ARE NONREFUNDABLE*****

​Tuition Refunds: 
Families withdrawing students prior to August 5, 2020 shall be refunded the entire amount of tuition that has been paid to date. All registration, book, and technology fees are non-refundable; if they are unpaid at the time of withdrawal they will be deducted from the refunded tuition.

If a student withdraws during any academic semester (2 semesters per school year) at Holy Family Academy, the entire semester must be paid in full. Families that prepay for the entire year will be reimbursed for any full academic semester that the student is not in attendance.

Eighth Grade Tuition Policy: 
Tuition delinquency as stated in the above policy through April 20th, remains the same. Tuition payments must be completed by May 1st. Failure to do so will result in the student being unable to participate in all end of the year activities. It is the responsibility of the parents to notify the school administration of any unforeseen financial difficulties that might arise throughout the year.
