RETURNING STUDENTS – CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT
Continuous enrollment allows us to maximize our resources and provide Christian education to our families at the highest level of excellence. Once enrolled, the Continuous Enrollment Contract will renew automatically each year through high school graduation unless a family opts out of the program for the following year, withdraws mid-year, or HOPE Academy terminates the agreement.
Each returning family is mailed a copy of the Continuous Enrollment Contract, a personalized tuition letter, and a payment schedule before February 1st.
The Enrollment Fee and the First Month’s Tuition are due annually by February 1st to secure your student(s) spot for the subsequent school year. Resource fees are charged in June.
OPT-OUT
To opt-out of enrollment, email your intent to opt-out to Jennifer Bullock at jbullock@hopek12.com by February 1st. This email communication releases your student’s spot in the next grade level and allows you to avoid the Reenrollment Deposit draft. The Reenrollment Deposit and any other applicable tuition/fees are non-refundable. Please refer to your Continuous Enrollment Contract for further details, including payment responsibilities and opt-out timelines.
