Payment Date Change Fee
Families have 24/7 access to their online payment information. Early or additional payments may be made at any time on a date other than the scheduled date(s). The upcoming regularly scheduled payment will be automatically adjusted to reflect any early payment.

In the event a scheduled payment date must be changed, payers should contact the Student Billing Associate a minimum of 24 hours before the scheduled payment date. A change fee of $20 per change will be billed to the payer account.

Late Payment and Finance Charge Fees
If a payment is not received within 10 days of the due date, account will incur a late fee of $25. In addition, any balance that is carried forward to the next month is subject to a finance charge of 1-1/2% per month, or fraction of a month.

NSF Fees
If a check or ACH transaction is not honored by the bank for nonsufficient funds (NSF), accounts will incur a fee of $25. Visa, MasterCard, and American Express transactions that are not approved or declined will also be subject to a $20 handling fee. Payers must immediately send to Heritage Christian Schools a cashiers check or money order for the amount due, including the NSF fee, to cover returned check, ACH payment or credit card transaction.

All student billing accounts must be paid in full before Heritage Christian School will release academic records/transcripts to another school. Academic records/transcripts may also be withheld for not returning library or athletic equipment and uniforms or non-payment of related fees. Official transcripts and diplomas will be withheld if a senior’s account has not been paid in full by the last day of their academic year.

The annual family commitment fee of $250 per family is billed each May. When paid, the annual family commitment fee reserves seats for the upcoming school year for each student currently enrolled, and obligates the family to the withdrawal policy should their enrollment plans change. Students who will not be returning for the next school year must notify the Admissions department by completing the withdrawal notification form by March 31. Students who withdraw for the upcoming school year after March 31 will be subject to the withdrawal policy below. The annual family commitment fee is non-refundable.

It is our desire to remain fiscally responsible and to be good stewards of the financial commitment our families have made to their children’s education. As such, to maintain a sound operating budget, Heritage Christian School has authorized a schedule for payment of tuition in the event a student withdraws after they have enrolled.

Please note: All student billing accounts must be paid in full before Heritage Christian School will release academic records/transcripts to another school. Academic records may also be withheld for not returning library or athletic equipment and uniforms or non-payment of related fees. Official transcripts and diplomas will be withheld if a senior’s account has not been paid in full by the last day of their academic year.

Withdrawals After Enrollment
Parents withdrawing their student(s) from Heritage Christian School for the upcoming school year or during the current school year will be assessed a portion of the tuition based on the date that the admissions department receives the withdrawal notice following the schedule below.
