TUITION MANAGEMENT

Calvary Day School uses FACTS Tuition Management.  They are a leading provider of tuition management, providing 24/7 service and mobile-friendly payment options. View a list of FACTS FAQ’s. Tuition may be paid in full or in monthly installments (June 2024 - May 2025) via automatic draft.  Once enrollment has been accepted, your FACTS account will be charged 10% of the standard tuition rate as a down payment which will be subtracted from the tuition balance.  The remaining balance (minus the down payment) will be drafted monthly from June to May.

Calvary Day School does offer Tuition Assistance for families who meet certain criteria through Variable Tuition and Scholarship Opportunities. Please visit our Variable Tuition page and Scholarships page to learn more about these opportunities for assistance.
