Tuition and fees for the 2010–2011 school year are given below. Tuition and Fees for the 2011–2012 school year will be determined by the Geneva Board of Governors in late December, 2010.

*Current families who re-enroll students by January 29, 2010, will receive a $200 discount in the Enrollment Fee. Current families who submit an application for a sibling by January 29, will also receive a $200 discount in the enrollment fee if the student is accepted.

New Student Application Fee includes the processing of a new student’s application and admission assessment for grades Pre-K–4.  Application fees are non-refundable.

ISEE Assessment Fee is paid directly to ISEE when a student registers for the entrance exam. This assessment is for students applying for grades 5–12.

Enrollment Fees are in addition to annual tuition and reserve a student’s space at The Geneva School.  A student is considered enrolled once the Student Enrollment Agreement has been submitted and the enrollment fee paid.  This fee purchases textbook, teaching supplies, and enables the school to make financial commitments for the coming year.  Every family pays one enrollment fee per year per student.  

Enrollment fees are non-refundable unless both of the following apply:

1. The “Financial Aid Pending” box has been checked on the Student Enrollment Agreement;
2. After notification from the school regarding the financial aid amount, a parent chooses not to accept the scholarship.  In this case the enrollment fee, minus $100 per child, will be refunded.
   

Tuition pays toward the cost of instruction at The Geneva School. In addition to tuition, families pay certain additional expenses to cover field trips, uniforms, and athletic participation fees, as well as other activities that are related to choices and options chosen during the school year.

Tuition Payment Options
Pre-Paid Annual: Tuition will be paid in full by May 15, 2010.  There will be a 3% discount. Any family receiving financial aid will not be eligible for a pre-paid discount. Any family paying by credit card will not be eligible for a pre-paid discount due to additional fees charged to the school by the credit card company.
Annual: Tuition will be paid in full between May 16 and August 1, 2010.  There will be no discount.
Semester: Tuition will be paid in two (2) equal installments by July 1 and December 1, 2010.  There will be an administrative fee of $70/year per family, divided over the two (2) payments.  The full administrative fee is due even if a payment is made prior to billing.
Monthly: Tuition will be paid in ten (10) monthly payments between July 1, 2010, and April 1, 2011.  There will be an administrative fee of $35 per month ($350/year per family).  The full administrative fee is due even if a payment is made prior to billing.

You will select your tuition payment option on your Student Enrollment Agreement.  Once we receive your signed agreement, you will be billed accordingly at the appropriate times.  For information on Financial Policies, please see the Parent & Student Handbook.

Missing a Tuition Deadline: Please note that the dates listed for the payment options are firm deadlines.  If you select an option, you will be billed for it as a reminder, but if you do not pay by the deadline, you will either be moved to another option or charged a late fee, as follows:

• If you select Pre-Paid Annual but do not pay in full by May 15, 2010, you will automatically be moved to the Annual option, with no discount.
• If you select or are moved to Annual but do not pay in full by August 1, 2010, you will automatically be moved to the Monthly option, with the administrative fee of $35 per month for ten (10) months ($350/year per family).
• If you select Semester but do not pay by July 1 or by December 1, 2010, you will be charged a late fee of $25 per month (see the Parent & Student Handbook) in addition to the applicable administrative fee.
• If you select or are moved to Monthly but do not pay by each month’s deadline, you will be charged a late fee of $25 per month (see the Parent & Student Handbook) in addition to the applicable administrative fee. 

Withdrawal Policy: A withdrawal of a student is one that takes place after a Student Enrollment Agreement has been signed for the current or upcoming school year.  The Parent & Student Handbook lists the steps required of a family who is withdrawing. 

Financial Obligations following Withdrawal:  If a family notifies the Dean of Students of their intent to withdraw a student at any time, the family is liable for all tuition except in the following circumstances:

• The student’s family is required by a third-party employer to move beyond a 35-mile radius from the school.
• The student’s primary financially-responsible parent becomes unemployed by a third-party employer.

If one of the above circumstances applies to you, any over-paid tuition (calculated on a pro-rated basis) will be refunded.
