- Full-time Student Tuition:
Full-time students attend the school for the ten-month period from mid-August to late May, inclusive. The school year calendar includes 175.5 contact days over a 42-week period. Full-time tuition for all preschool students, and for all Kindergarten through 8th Grade students by choice, is $11,000 for the academic year and comprehensively applies to the School’s operating hours from 8:00 a.m., to 5:00 p.m. Part-time tuition for preschool students is $7,000 for the academic year (see Section 3 below). Full-time non-comprehensive tuition for Kindergarten through 8th Grade students is $9,000.00 and applies to the regular operating hours of the Kindergarten-8th Grades (8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.).
Families with full-time students may choose to pay the entire year’s tuition by March 1st and receive a 5% discount OR pay in equal monthly installments by the fifteenth day of each month from July 2012 through March 2013. Families may request a twelve-month payment plan running from June 2012 through May 2013 but no prepayment or sibling discounts apply to a twelve-month payment plan.
For families who do not prepay tuition yearly and who have more than one full-time student at CoIS, an optional sibling discount of 5% is available. The sibling discount applies to each child attending CoIS full-time. Multiple discounts such as a prepaid discount and a sibling discount are not allowed. There is no discount for pre-payment of reduced tuition from any financial aid award or for part-time students. Prepaid and sibling discounts do not apply to payments made after the March 1stdeadline.
To apply to the School for admission, each candidate pays a $50 nonrefundable application fee. Candidates who are accepted into the School pay nonrefundable one month’s tuition and nonrefundable mandatory fees (items 6e-h below) upon signing the contract. Families who pay tuition late are assessed a $50 administrative fee and $5/day charge until payment has been made. There is a $25 charge for any bounced check.
Tuition does not cover all costs of operating the School long-term and families are expected to make up the difference each year with charitable contributions from individual, corporate or foundation sources.

Limited funds are available through the School for need-based financial assistance to full-time students.
