Tuition Refund Policy
Tuition Refund Policy
I understand by enrolling my child in Harford Christian School, I am contracting with HCS for the entire school year. Harford Christian School enters many contractual relationships based upon the enrollment of my child. Because of this, if you choose to withdraw your child from HCS after registration, HCS will assess tuition and fees in the following manner. For any student who withdraws during the first semester, all tuition and fees will be assessed at 60% the annual rate. For any student who withdraws after the start of the second semester, all tuition and fees will be assessed at 100% the annual rate. Harford Christian School will grant exceptions for any student who loses their enrollment privilege or whose family moves out of the region. Under these circumstances all fees will be assessed that were due during the month in which the student was last enrolled.
