To help families, tuition payments are divided into 10 monthly installments starting July 1 and ending April 1. We ask that all families click here to carefully review all updates for the 2023-24 school year, including an announcement about the first payment for the Lunch Bunch and Kindergarten Afterschool programs.
- Families will receive monthly invoices from Quickbooks.
- Tuition is due no later than the first day of each month except the first invoice for 23-24. Since July 1 is a Saturday and the CBA office will be closed the week of July 3-7, we will extend the late payment fee deadline to Friday, July 14, since we will not be available to answer invoice questions until Monday, July 10. If you have any questions about the first invoice, please email finance@charlestonbilingualacademy.org.
- The first invoice will be sent on July 1 and will include the annual Early Childhood supply fee and or the annual Elem/MS Book and Technology fee .
- Optional activities: If you have registered your child for Lunch Bunch or the Kindergarten Afternoon program, you will receive a SEPARATE invoice for these in mid-July. Subsequent invoices will include these charges along with the regular tuition invoice sent on the first of the month.
