CLASSROOM FEES

Shining Rivers offers a generous Tuition Assistance program and Sibling Discount.

Tuition and Fee Policies

1. Classroom fees are due by May 20, 2011, or at the time of acceptance if after May 21. We will be unable to admit any child to the first day of class with outstanding fees.
2. Tuition can be paid in a lump sum directly to the school. Monthly payments must be made through the SMART tuition management program.
   • Annual Payment: You may pay your tuition in one lump sum and thereby avoid the SMART fee for monthly billing statements. All lump sum payments are due by the start of enrollment.
   • Monthly Tuition Payments:All families paying tuition monthly do so through the SMART tuition service. There is a one-time fee to SMART of $43 for this service, depending on payment type. Tuition payments through SMART are made in ten installments for the months August through May. If you are enrolling in the SMART monthly tuition program after July 20th, you may be asked to pay Shining Rivers School directly for the first month(s) of tuition.
3. Families with two children enrolled in any of the school's five day programs will receive a 25% discount on the tuition of the younger child. Families with three or more children enrolled in any of the school's five day programs will receive a 25% discount on the tuition of the second oldest child in a five day program and a 30% discount on the tuitions of the younger children in five day programs.
4. Tuition payments more than 30 calendar days late will require a meeting, in person, with the finance committee to discuss resolution of the problem. The entire account will be turned over to collections if a payment is more than 60 calendar days late.
