Tuition

Oak Crest Academy charges an annual tuition, due in full by July 1st or at the time of registration for those enrolling later in the year. Monthly payment plans are available, but enrollment in a deferred payment plan does not imply any proration of this obligation for the full amount. For withdrawing students, fees and tuition are not refundable or prorated for any reason. For late entrants, tuition will be calculated based upon the month of entry and will be charged on a per day basis calculation. All deferred payments must be completed by May 1st. Siblings receive a 10% discount.
