REMINDER - 2017 - 18 Re-registration Information and Tuition Rates
A few important notes:
1. There is roughly a 3% increase from last year to continue to offer the best educational and faith-based programs possible.
2. There is no longer a multi-child discount. The cost of educating a student at ICS is $7,200. Our tuition is already significantly below this cost. Reducing the amount we receive for multiple-children in a family makes the gap between our cost of education and our tuition rate even larger. This, in turn, makes it even harder for us to meet our operational goals, and advance as we need to as a school.
3. There are no hidden fees. Your registration fee comes out of your tuition total. This is another reason that we have eliminated the multi-child discount. We do not supplement our tuition revenue (and trick you into paying more) with these charges.
4. We will offer a tuition credit of up to $250 for each new student you can help recruit to ICS. So, if you can recruit a family with two children to join us at ICS, your family will receive a tuition credit of up to $500 (this will depend upon your tuition owed to ICS after applying scholarship and financial aid monies). This credit will appear in your account in January 2018, lowering your tuition balance for the remainder of the year.
5. Families who do not qualify for diocesan financial aid and/or state scholarships can apply for local financial aid from Incarnation Catholic School and Church. If you have questions about this, contact Mr. Zelenka: icsmzele@icstampa.org.
6. Families will be required to participate in fundraising efforts in either the Auction and/or the Payday Sweepstakes Drawing in the amount of $150.
7. Families will also be required to commit 20 hours in service to ICS. Six (6) of those hours must be at the 2018 Incarnation Carnival.
ICS needs your commitment for next year. Amazing things are stirring within our school. Re-register as soon as you can.
