Dallas Lutheran School has financial and contractual arrangements with faculty, staff, vendors, etc., which are made in the spring prior to each school year.
THESE OBLIGATIONS MAKE IT CRITICAL THAT WE ASK ALL FAMILIES TO COMMIT FINANCIALLY FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR BY MARCH 26.
The tuition payments will be April 1 through March 1 of the following year, a total of 12 months.
IN ORDER FOR DALLAS LUTHERAN SCHOOL TO MEET OUR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, THERE IS NO REFUND FOR ANY REASON.
THE GUIDELINES LISTED BELOW WILL BE FOLLOWED (ALSO SEE CONTRACT OF ENROLLMENT:)
Each student must pay an enrollment fee annually at the time of enrollment. This enrollment fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Payment plan must be agreed to at time of registration. For the 12 month payment plan, the first payment is due on or before April 1 prior to the school year and the final payment is due on or before March 1.
If any tuition payment is not paid by the 15th of the month in which it is due, a $50 late fee will be charged.
IN ORDER FOR A STUDENT TO BEGIN SCHOOL IN AUGUST, ALL TUITION AND FEES DUE MUST BE PAID, INCLUDING THE AUGUST 1 PAYMENT AT WHICH TIME PAYMENT PLAN WILL BE BASED ON EIGHT MONTHS WITH THE LAST PAYMENT DUE MARCH 1.
If any tuition owed remains unpaid for 15 days after it is due, then DLS will require the Parent/Guardian to enroll in a monthly automatic bank draft plan.
STUDENTS WILL BE DISMISSED UNLESS PROPER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR PAYMENT OF TUITION, FEES, AND LATE FEES.
For families applying for financial aid, student must be enrolled, contract signed, and enrollment fee paid BEFORE the application can be processed. The first tuition payment deducted on April 1 will be for the full monthly tuition payment. After financial aid has been determined, tuition will be adjusted for the April 1 through March 1 payments. Financial Assistance is on a first-come, first-served basis.
A $50 service fee will be charged for any check returned by a bank for insufficient funds or for any other reason.
