STUDENT ENRICHMENT FEE (SEF)
- Student Enrichment Fees (SEF) are collected to support programs which enhance or support core instruction provided through tuition dollars. Generally, they are programs which are provided for the benefit of the entire school or campus, and not specific to any one grade level or class. Your child’s participation or non-participation in any of these programs is not what substantiates the fee; therefore, non-participation is not grounds for a refund. In fact, no refunds will be given for SEF fees. These programs are budgeted, and spending is based on fund availability. SEF fees must be paid to ensure your student’s enrollment and class placement. Furthermore, since these programs are ongoing (from one school year to another), fees are due for an entire year regardless of when you enroll. SEF money, if unused from a prior year, would be directed to future years’ programs, and once again, for the benefit of the entire school or campus.
Elementary Student $550.00 per student (2023-2024)
Junior High Student $900.00 per student (2023-2024)
Junior High Student $900.00 per student (2023-2024)
* You receive a family discount on your SEF when more than one child from a family is enrolled (including preschool). A full SEF is charged for the oldest child, and $250.00 is deducted from the SEF amount for each additional sibling. When making your payment please don’t forget to reduce your fees with the discount if it applies to your family.
