Tuition Payment Plan

Through FACTS, families may choose a payment plan for tuition (2, 3, or 10 monthly payments a year). FACTS can withdraw the money directly from your banking account or charge a credit card. You will receive an email notification before a withdrawal or charge or when a change is made to your account.

Enrollment deposits are $500 for JPK and $1,000 for grades PK-5.

For new students, the deposit is due with the enrollment contract shortly after your child is accepted. For current students, the deposit holds your child’s spot each year and is paid through FACTS each February. No tuition will be due in February if you choose the 10-month plan. There are administrative fees associated with using FACTS: $35 for two payments, $65 for three payments, and $150 for 10 payments. 

Log into FACTS

Families may choose to pay tuition with a credit card. Credit Card payments may incur an additional processing fee. To set up a credit card payment, call FACTS at 1-800-233-1096 and use the following FACTS ID number: 2521. 

Tuition Refund Plan

Families who select a tuition payment plan are automatically enrolled in the Tuition Refund Plan.

Tuition refund insurance is strongly recommended in the event a child might be withdrawn from The Bright School due to family relocation, injury or sickness, significant change in family finances, or other unanticipated situations. Your financial obligation to the school is for the full annual tuition as stated in the school’s enrollment contract. Our expenses are incurred on an annual basis; therefore, we cannot refund the tuition or cancel unpaid obligations if your child is forced to withdraw during the academic year. If a student withdraws, the tuition refund plan will pay benefits (subject to its terms, conditions and limitations and based on the amount insured) to the school, which provides you substantial assistance in meeting your financial obligation and protecting your investment in your child's education. Remaining benefits not required to meet your obligation will be refunded to you.

This insurance is required for current families with a past due account history, showing a balance more than 60 days old and will be billed automatically. 

Please keep in mind you will be billed separately for the full premium during the summer. For plan benefits to take effect, your child must attend 15 consecutive calendar days commencing with the student’s first class day of attendance in the academic year. The 2023-2024 premiums are $179.80 for grades K-5, $124.63 for PK, $89 for JPK (5 days) or $68 for JPK (3 days). Premiums are paid per child.

If you are on the one-payment plan, you are not automatically enrolled. If you would like to enroll, please sign up using the form below.
