Tuition Payment Options
Almaden Country Day School requires that Basic Tuition be paid in one of two ways:
Option 1 – Single Annual Payment. Basic tuition paid in full by June 15. Non-refundable tuition deposit due at time of enrollment/re-enrollment. There is a discount for single annual payment. The discount for a payment-in-full is $400 for all full-day programs. The discount for the half-day Pre-Kindergarten program is $275. Please contact the Business Office if you have questions.
Option 2 – Monthly AutoPay. If you wish to pay basic tuition on a monthly basis, you will need to authorize the school to electronically withdraw funds from your bank account starting in June and running through May. Tuition is drawn over 11 months with the February draw devoted to the non-refundable tuition deposit. For students enrolled after June 20, payments will be divided equally for the remaining months through May, except for the month of February which is devoted to the non-refundable tuition deposit payment. For students who begin at ACDS after the first day of school, payments will be prorated based on start date and divided by the remaining months through May.
