Tuition Payment Policy
  1. Tuition for enrollment and attendance at Vahan & Anoush Chamlian Armenian School (Chamlian), and, if desired, extended childcare, is charged as an annual fee. Payment of Tuition may be divided into Ten (10) equal monthly installments for elementary and middle school students (payable August-May). The opportunity to make installment payments of Tuition is granted by Chamlian solely for the convenience of the parent/guardian; and, even when the choice is made to pay Tuition in installments, the parent/guardian is obligated to pay the full annual Tuition sum. When the choice is made to pay Tuition in installments the installments are payable regardless of holidays and vacations. Also, Tuition payments are non-refundable, even though the student may be absent from school.

  3. Credit/Debit Cards are accepted with a pre-determined convenience fee.
  4. All installment Tuition payments are due and payable on the 7th day of each month regardless of whether or not a tuition statement has been received by the parent.
  5. If a student is suspended for nonpayment of Tuition, the parent/guardian will be assessed a $50.00 re-instatement fee, which must be paid before the student can return to the classroom. Tuition continues to accrue during suspension, and the balance due must be paid, along with the reinstatement fee, before the student may return to the classroom.

    Late payment / non-payment policy

    Tuition is due on or before the seventh day of every month. Should a situation arise that a payment will be late; the parent is responsible to notify the School Administration as soon as possible. In the event that a family fails to pay tuition on time, the School Administration will initiate the following procedures:

    If at the end of thirty (30) days the tuition account is not current, the parent will be notified by the Administration of the past due amount. A late fee of $30 will be assessed to the total tuition balance, and additional late fees of $30 each month will continue to accrue until the account is current.

    If at the end of sixty (60) days the past due status continues to exist, the parent will be notified in writing by the Administration that the account must be brought current, otherwise the student will not be allowed to take the midterm exam and/or the final exams. Chamlian reserves the right to suspend the student from the school if any tuition balance is past due for Sixty (60) days or more.

    All outstanding balances must be paid in full prior to completion of all coursework and the taking of final exams. Chamlian further reserves the right to refuse re-enrollment for the current year, or enrollment for the following year, until all outstanding tuition and fees are paid in full.
