The school gives its figures in person, so you never read an old one.
Tuition is set by the year and by the grade band a child is in. Early care, after care and the bus are billed apart, by the month, for the days a family uses them. The school gives its figures at every visit.

A family pays an application fee when it applies, which covers reading the application and meeting the child. After an offer, an enrollment fee holds the place.
Application: when a family applies
Enrollment: when an offer is accepted
A place is held when the family signs the enrollment agreement and makes the first payment, which goes toward tuition. Families have until April to answer an offer. If a grade is full, the office keeps a waitlist and calls families in the order they joined.

Families choose to pay by the month, by the term or by the year. A farm family's income often comes in after harvest, so the office will go over a schedule with you at enrollment that fits your year. Monthly payments can run by autopay through the school's online system.

Financial aid is available; here is how to apply. After you submit an application, the office sends an aid form. A small committee reads each form and answers in the same week as admissions decisions. Ask the office about Iowa's state programs for families who may qualify.

Brothers and sisters are read in the same season so a family hears about everyone at once.
Families give written notice, and the office asks for it before the end of a term so the place can go to a family on the waitlist. What happens to a term in progress is in the enrollment agreement, which you can read at a visit.
