EARLYWITHDRAWAL
St. Clement Orthodox Christian Academy makes budgetary decisions, purchases supplies, and enters into contracts with teachers and staff based upon projected enrollment set by our enrollment agreements. As a result, St. Clement Orthodox Christian Academy retains a prorated portion of tuition if student(s) are withdrawn after an enrollment agreement is signed.
When a student is withdrawn from the school, whether at the request of the parent or St. Clement Orthodox Christian Academy, the parents' financial responsibility for tuition is shown below. When a student enters mid-year, tuition is prorated according to the Delayed Entry schedule below.

We do not want finances to be the reason for a child to not enroll at St. Clement Orthodox Christian Academy. In addition to faculty discounts and other programs, St. Clement Orthodox Christian Academy sets aside a portion of its budget for need-based financial aid in the form of Tuition Assistance. Please email info@stcoca.org for more information.
*Next year, we will use BeneFAQ, a third party provider, to verify and assess Tuition Assistance availability. We will share more information about BeneFAQ at that time.
