How can I afford to send my child to Habersham? How can you afford not to?
A Habersham education is a long-term investment in your child’s academic and socio-emotional future. What is nurtured and developed today shapes your child’s tomorrow, and the person they will become. Did you realize that from Kindergarten through 12th grade, your child will spend over 15,000 hours in school? These are the years that lay the foundation for your child’s future, and each passing day is an opportunity for growth and development. Children, like adults, often absorb and adopt the values of their coaches, teachers, and peers. By laying a Biblical foundation that promotes scholarship, leadership, and service, there are no boundaries to what our students will be able to achieve! Our dedicated faculty and Christ-loving community would love to welcome you to the Habersham family.
Let’s talk about what Variable Tuition might look like for your family.
The Habersham School is committed to making enrollment accessible to Christian families with a wide range of financial circumstances. Our Variable Tuition program allows us to offer tuition rates according to each family’s ability to contribute to their educational expenses.
All-Inclusive Tuition
In the spirit of full transparency, and consistent with our desire to minimize out-of-pocket expenses, our Tuition Schedule is entirely upfront. Rather than publish a tuition schedule that excludes thousands of dollars of hidden fees, we attempt to avoid “nickel and diming” our families with frequent add-on fees that result in significant unexpected costs. We believe that you will appreciate knowing the full cost of your child’s education. Outside of tuition, the only additional costs you will bear will be for lunches, uniforms, and school supplies.
| Grade | 12 Monthly Installments | Yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-K4 | ~$995 | $11,950 **Not eligible for Variable Tuition |
| Kindergarten | ~$1,120 | $6,725 – $13,450 |
| Grades 1–6 | ~$1,215 | $7,300 – $14,600 |
| Grades 7–8 | ~$1,240 | $7,450 – $14,900 |
| Grades 9–12 | ~$1,260 | $7,550 – $15,100 |
| After School Care PreK4 – 8th Grades til 5:00 pm | $250/month $20/day |
|
The highest amount shown for each grade level is the standard rate for parents who do not qualify or do not choose to apply for Variable Tuition. Through generous annual support of the Habersham Fund – raising critical funds to support our mission above and beyond that which tuition covers – no family pays the true full cost of a Habersham education.
** Because the IRS allows for certain tax credits through the Child and Dependent Care Credit, PreK is not eligible for our Variable Tuition program. We recommend that you consult with your tax professional about this tax planning opportunity, as Habersham does not provide tax advice.
Additional Tuition Information
Our Application Fee is $125 and is non-refundable.
Students applying for 2nd – 12th grade may need to complete the Independent School Entrance Exam by the ERB. If testing is needed, the additional testing fees will be collected by ERB upon test registration.
Upon acceptance, a non-refundable $400 Tuition Deposit is due in order to reserve your child’s seat. This deposit counts toward your total tuition cost. It is not an additional fee.
Outside of tuition, the only additional costs you will bear will be for lunches, uniforms, and school supplies.
Unless a payment plan has been established, tuition is due by June 1st of each academic year. Acceptance of a student for enrollment constitutes a significant financial commitment on the part of the school (personnel, classroom space, books, curriculum, and supplies). Therefore, all deposits and tuition fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Pay-in-Full Payments
Pay-in-Full payments are due June 1st or before starting school for mid-year transfers.
Quarterly Payments
Due June 1st; September 1st; December 1st; March 1st
Monthly Payments
- Due on the 1st of each month, June – May
- Automatic draft only
