REAL Christian Academy requires a minimum of 30 days written notice for student withdrawal. This notice allows us adequate time to adjust enrollment and billing accordingly.

If a 30-day written notice is not provided, we cannot guarantee a refund of tuition already billed. When proper notice is given, billing will be adjusted to ensure charges do not extend beyond the 30-day notice period.

It is our goal to provide each child with the highest level of education at an affordable price.

1. Tuition may be paid annually or monthly through PROCARE. All families must enroll in the PROCARE payment program and complete a PROCARE financial contract upon admission and/or re-enrollment.

2. Tuition plan section occurs annually during enrollment/re-enrollment. If changes are needed after this time, please contact the school office. All tuition and fees must be paid in a timely manner. Failure to keep payments current may necessitate student withdrawal.

3. A 2.7% + 0.30 charge for credit card payments and a $1.00 charge for ACH will be added to your payment amount.

4. Checks made out to RCA and returned for insufficient funds will result in a $25.00 charge.

5. A student is considered enrolled and the financial account chargeable until a withdrawal request has been submitted in writing by a parent or guardian indicating the last day of attendance.

6. Students will not be placed on a class list and will not be able to attend until the previous year's account is paid in full. If tuition and annual fees remain unpaid by August 1st, students are no longer guaranteed a spot in their class.

7. Report cards and transcripts are released if there is no outstanding balance on the account following Ohio law.

8. We will bill only the student’s legal guardian (or custodian) for school fees. In most cases, the legal guardian is the parent in whose home the student resides. In cases where there is joint custody of the student, the parent who submitted theenrollment packet is responsible for the payment. However, ProCare offers the ability to split the payments between two parents and can be set up at enrollment.
