​Registration

There is an annual registration fee per student.  This is a non-refundable and non-transferable fee.  This helps defray administration expenses.  In addition, the fee also informs the office of any available class openings.  For returning students, early registration will be open mid-January through the end of January.  From January until April 30th, the fee will be $65.00 (this guarantees the student a space in September) with a first come, first served spacing; and $75.00 if a student registers after May 1st.


​Tuition

Metuchen Christian Academy’s tuition is based on an annual fee for 180 school days.  For parents’ convenience, we have a ten-month payment plan established through FACTS financial institution. Tuition will be automatically withdrawn from the parent’s chosen account each month and is paid one month in advance.  The parent needs to decide which one of three dates would be more convenient for them: 1st of each month; 10th of each month; or the 15th of each month. Every parent MUST enroll with FACTS. The only exception is if the parent pays tuition in full by July 1st (4% discount) or August 1st (3% discount).

Extended Care Fees

Extended child care is available before school from 7:00 AM and after school until 6:00 PM for an additional $240.00 per month or at the hourly rate of $8.00 per hour, $4.00 per half-hour.​

Frequently Used Extended Care:
​
Regularly and/or frequently used Extended Care must be paid in advance and must be included in each month’s tuition payment.  Parents who occasionally use extended care must deposit $50.00 into their account prior to using the service.  When a pattern of occasional use evolves, it will be requested by the bookkeeper to estimate, in advance, what amount will be included with the tuition.  It is preferred to estimate monthly the amount that will be used when a parent’s working schedule fluctuates.  If the estimated amount is not used in its’ entirety, a credit will be carried over towards the next month’s balance.
​

​Occasionally Used Extended Care:
All parents who occasionally use our extended care program must deposit $50.00 into their account before using this service.  Once the account is down to $10.00, an additional $50.00 must be deposited in order to continue to use extended care.


​Event Participation Points

Each family is required to earn 250 points per school year.  Throughout the year (beginning in August with our Workday), we will offer many “events” where the school will need your help.  Each event will be worth 10 points unless otherwise noted. (If a parent wants to volunteer to help a teacher during class time, it is worth 10 points).  If parents cannot earn the entire amount of points, they will be allowed to make up the difference monetarily; each point is worth $1.00 totaling $250.00.  Please make sure to notify the office each time you volunteer your services for the school.  Only those points earned in the month of June are transferable for the next school year.  Parents who earn more than 250 points are donating their service to the school and are doing it out of gratitude for MCA.


​Financial Commitment and Statement of Cooperation Forms

The Financial Commitment and the Statement of Cooperation forms must be completed in ParentsWeb prior to students starting school in September 2022.
