Monthly Tuition & Fees

Policies

Schedule Changes: Any changes to attendance, including withdrawal, require a written notice at least 30 days in advance, by the first of the month prior to the month the change is to begin, and no refunds are given.

Payment  Schedule and Due Date: Monthly, by the 10th of every month. Please see "fees" section below regarding late payments. Tuition is the same amount every month, regardless of holidays, school closures or absences due to illness or vacations.

Redwood Campus: Tuition is higher than Creekside (A.M. Care is the same rate).

Monday Reduction: Tuition is reduced by $10 per month for 2- & 3-day-a-week schedules that include Monday (often a holiday).

Parent Co-op: Tuition is reduced by $100 if a parent assists in the classroom in our Co-op option from 8:45 – 1:15 one day a week, every week.

Special Closures: We follow the Twin Hills USD schedule for holidays, breaks, and unscheduled closures, as part of our lease agreement. If Twin Hills USD decides to close Apple Blossom School for flooding, fire, smoke, or any other reason, both of our campuses are closed as well. We regret that we are not able to give tuition refunds for these closures.

Online Invoicing

For online invoicing and payments, we use Bill.com online payments. We have enabled bank transfer only for our families. You may request the capability to pay by credit or debit card, but significant fees will be added to your invoice total each month to cover  the charges.

You can establish a customer portal in the Bill system when you receive your first invoice, and save your bank account number for transfers, or schedule automatic payments.

Tuition Assistance

Assistance with tuition is available on a limited basis; in some years, we do not have sufficient income to support scholarships. Assistance is based on financial need. We encourage you to inquire whether assistance is available, if you are unable to attend without this help. Our resources are very limited so we urge you to appeal to family members who might be willing to contribute as well. There are also community programs that assist with tuition; please let the Executive Director know if you need help with this.
