All deposits, tuition payments and fees become non-refundable if the application is withdrawn by the family once placement has been granted.
Because it is in the best interests of each individual child and the class to stagger start dates, September start dates are not prorated. Tuition payments reserve each child’s place in class. All proration begins on October 1.
Tuition is all inclusive; there is no activity fee or mandatory fundraising requirement. School supplies and materials are provided by the school, although primary parents will occasionally be asked to do classroom laundry and donate food preparation and/or flower arranging supplies. JMS does not require uniforms.
Families are expected to financially support the JMS Annual Fund, at their own individual comfort level. Additional voluntary fundraising opportunities are made available throughout the school year.
Payment Options
1) Annual Tuition (minus applicable tuition deposits) - Due in full, by August invoice date. Annual tuition for students starting on/after October 1 is due on invoiced date.
