Enrollment Deposit

This non-refundable deposit is calculated as a percentage of your total contract obligation and secures your child's space for the upcoming school year. A portion of your Enrollment Deposit is applied toward your tuition, and a portion pays your Tuition Protection Plan fee (see the description and breakdown below). As an incentive, the amount due at signing is 5% for enrollment agreements signed on or before the school’s Priority Enrollment Deadline. The amount due at signing increases to 10% for enrollment agreements signed after the Priority Enrollment Deadline.

Tuition Protection Plan

This fee helps offset the school’s financial loss and reduces a family’s financial obligation if a student withdraws after signing an enrollment agreement. All families pay a non-refundable Tuition Protection Plan fee equal to 1.5% of their total tuition obligation, included in the Enrollment Deposit and due at contract signing. To receive protection under the plan, a family must provide written notice of withdrawal to the LCWS Business Administrator, including the reason for withdrawal and the student’s last day of enrollment. A family current in its monthly payments will owe through the student’s final month of enrollment plus one additional month. For other payment schedules, the final obligation will be calculated on the same basis using a 12-month payment cycle, with credit for payments already made.
