FINANCIAL POLICIES
Maranatha Christian Schools is partnered with FACTS Tuition Management to collect all tuition. We offer two payment plan options for our families. MCS does not accept credit card or debit card payments for tuition fees, therefore a checking or savings account must be set up.

● It shall be the responsibility of each school family to keep the Early Education office informed of any changes in their preferred tuition payment plan or adjustments in the amount of tuition to be paid. Without such information, the following policy will apply when tuition payments are received late:
A late fee of $30.00 from FACTS will be automatically debited from the account if NSF.
● The missed payment will be communicated and reattempted by FACTS again in the same month.
● School families who have missed the second payment reattempted by FACTS, must contact the Early Education office within 5 business days to make suitable arrangements. MCS may require that a student be dismissed from school when an account becomes 30 days past due. To re-enroll your child at the school, you will need to make the delinquent payment and re-enrollment fees will apply.

 


Maranatha Christian Schools admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at this school.  MCS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, or ethnic origin, or any other basis prohibited by federal and state law, in the administration of its policies, educational policies, athletics, and any other school-administered programs.
