TUITION AND FEES
Upon acceptance to TLH, a student's first and second month's tuition is due. Invoices will be issued monthly after that, and payments are due and payable on the 1st of each month. Payments are considered delinquent after the 10th of each month. Tuition for the year is divided into nine equal payments, with the first two due at the time of enrollment and the remaining seven due on the first of the month September through March. Families who are able to pay the full amount of tuition and fees for the entire school year at the time of enrollment will receive a 5% discount on the total amount due.

Because teachers commit to their TLH classes and are contracted for the entire school year based on enrollment at the beginning of the year, tuition and fees are non-refundable for the entire year after the October 1 add/drop deadline. After October 1, the family of a student who withdraws from one or more classes, is expelled or otherwise does not continue with classes at TLH is still contractually obligated at the time of withdrawal to pay all tuition and fees in full for the remainder of the school year and any pre-paid tuition and fees are non-refundable.

If a tuition account remains delinquent for 30 days or there is evidence of chronic tardiness in making the monthly payments, TLH reserves the right to withdraw the student or deny re-enrollment for the following semester, and to withhold the student's grades until the family tuition account is paid in full.

By signing and returning an enrollment contract and upon acceptance, we reserve a place for your child (as class space is available) and you pledge to TLH that you will pay the costs indicated in order that we may meet the budget of TLH.

We employ faculty and staff members in accordance with the number of students enrolled and families must honor those staff contracts whether or not a student withdraws from TLH. If you find it necessary to withdraw your child after an enrollment contract is signed and returned to the education center, please contact our office as soon as possible. However, student registration fees and family fees are non-refundable.

WITHDRAWAL / CLASS DROP POLICY
If you find it necessary to withdraw your child prior to school starting but after the enrollment contract is signed and returned to TLH, please contact our office as soon as possible. If we can fill your child's vacancy in each course for which he or she was enrolled with another student prior to the first day of classes, a 100 percent tuition refund can be arranged.

After the first day of school and before the end of the first week of classes, a 50 percent refund can be arranged as long as the student is in good standing (i.e. has not withdrawn for academic or disciplinary reasons) and his/her vacancy in each course for which he or she is enrolled can be filled by another student.

Classes dropped after October 1 are subject to the policies set forth in Tuition and Fees above.

ELECTIVE CLASSES
Many of our elective classes are contracted out. Once a student commits to an elective class that has been contracted out, the student must remain committed OR the tuition must be paid for the whole year. THERE IS NO DROP PERIOD OR REFUND FOR ELECTIVE CLASSES.

Below is a list of classes that have been contracted out thus far for the school year:

• Computer Explorers
• Martial arts fitness
• Ballet

All tuition and fees at TLH are based on an estimated cost of providing the educational services of the education center to all enrolled students. 

REFUNDS

**THERE ARE NO TUITION REFUNDS AFTER OCTOBER 1st.**

Requests for refunds must be made directly to the TLH office and will be reviewed to determine if requirements have been met for a full or partial refund. Approved refunds are typically paid within 30 days of the approval date. In addition, please note the following:

• All registration, family program fees, supply fees (paid to either the teacher or TLH) and graduation fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
• All tuition payments for any course which is cancelled by TLH will be credited in full to the existing family tuition account, unless the student withdraws from TLH completely, at which time the aforementioned tuition refund policies apply.
• If a teacher resigns after the school year begins and a qualified replacement according to TLH standards is hired, students will not be allowed to drop the class without paying the tuition for the remainder of the year and supply fees will not be refunded.

LATE TUITION FEES
Tuition payments received after their scheduled due dates are subject to a $25.00 late payment fee regardless of the total amount of the tuition payment.

RETURNED CHECK FEE
There will also be a $35.00 service fee for ANY check returned by the bank (NSF checks must be replaced with cash/cashier's check for the amount of the check and fee).

GRADUATION
Students graduating from TLH will have a fee assessed on their family tuition account to cover the cost of diplomas, academic awards, facilities rentals, and other items related directly to the graduation ceremony.

FINANCIAL AID
Despite the relatively low cost of education at TLH, at times families whose children attend the school find themselves in a financial predicament that requires assistance. While we are neither a local church nor lending institution, we remain committed to reviewing all requests for tuition assistance and helping those with genuine needs. All financial aid is measured and appropriated within the following guidelines:

• Financial aid will be available only to current students at TLH, and then only for core curricular classes.
• The Financial Aid Fund will be administered by the TLH Board of Directors.
• Financial aid will appear as a credit on the student's account, and therefore is not available to be refunded or used for any other purpose.
• Students receiving financial aid must enter TLH on the same basis and in the same manner as all other students and must adhere to all TLH policies while enrolled.
• Failure on the part of the student (or family) to adhere to TLH policies, or failure on the part of the student to maintain an overall grade point average of 70 percent at TLH, may result in a revocation of the financial aid as determined by the TLH Board.
• Existing TLH families requesting financial aid or having been granted such aid must be or remain current on their student tuition accounts (i.e. have no outstanding balance from previous semesters).
• Regardless of the amount of financial aid provided, failure to meet the remaining financial obligations at TLH may result in a revocation of the financial aid as determined by the TLH Board, as well as the inability to register for the following semester or graduate from TLH.
• Financial aid cannot be granted to families who have not fully met financial obligations at any other school.
• Financial aid is only available as funds are available. Qualifying for financial aid does not guarantee receipt of financial aid.
• To apply for financial aid, download the scholarship form on the Web site, then print and return to TLH office. Once the application is completed and reviewed, the requesting family will be notified whether or not they qualified for financial assistance, and whether TLH currently has resources to provide that assistance. At this point, the Board of Directors or those empowered by the Board may also request an interview with the family to secure further details in the application process.
