Tuitions & Fees - 2009-2010

The La Sierra Academy Board pledges to keep tuition and fees as low as is consistent with good fiscal management.  La Sierra Academy reserves the right to adjust charges for tuition and fees at the second semester should unstable economic conditions warrant such adjustments.

Tuition Rates

The yearly tuition costs represent the total cost of educating each student in the respective grades for the entire year. The monthly installment plan is designed to help parents spread the cost of tuition over 10 months and does not intend to quantify an "amount" of education each month. Installments are due on the 10th of each month, starting August 2009. When the 1oth falls on a holiday or weekend, tuition is due the following regular business day.

Tuition Refund

The first tuition payment of each semester (August and January) will be prorated for withdrawal within the first TEN days of the semester. All other installment payments (September - December and February - May) will be fully refunded or charges reversed if the student withdraws before the 15th of the month. Tuition will not be prorated for late registrants who enroll within the first ten school days of each semester. Tuition and fees charged to international students are non-refundable after the first ten days of school.

Non-Members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church

Tuition payments do not cover the full cost of operating La Sierra Academy. Members of the local Seventh-day Adventist Churches support Adventist education with substantial subsidies. La Sierra Academy reserves the right to charge higher rates for students who are not members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
