Salem Christian Academy is a private school that relies solely upon the funds generated from tuition and entrance fees to function effectively. Subsequently, we depend on each parent to do their part by paying tuition and fees in a timely manner.

TUITION PAYMENTS: The Academy is currently using FACTS, a tuition management service. All tuition payments must be made through this service. FACTS offers two payment methods:

1. Annual Payment Plan (payment in full)
2. Monthly Payment Plan (10 monthly installments)

For the FACTS Monthly Payment Plan, tuition payments are conveniently calculated on a monthly basis for instructional services rendered during an entire school year.  Parents are paying the yearly amount in monthly installments. The tuition balance is divided into ten (10) monthly payments.

Please note that though some months are longer than others and some months are relatively short in terms of the days of services offered, your monthly tuition obligation will not reduce.

The Monthly Payment Plan options are:

1. Automatic Bank Payments through your checking or savings account made on either the 5th or 20th of the month. There is a $41 enrollment fee for this service option.
2. Automatic payment through your credit card (Discover/Master Card) made on either the 5th or 20th of each month. There is a $41 enrollment fee plus a 2.5% convenience fee will be added to your payment for this service option.
3. Invoice (statement) will be mailed permitting payment by check, money order, or online payment. Payments are due on the 1st of each month. There is a $45 enrollment fee for this service option.

If you have any questions about the FACTS program, please see a member of the S.C.A. office staff or feel free to contact FACTS directly at 1-800-624-7092 or www.factsmgt.com.

LATE CHARGES: A late charge of $25.00 will be AUTOMATICALLY ASSESSED to your account if any payment is not received by the twentieth (20th) day of the month (within 10 days from the payment due date).

DISHONORED PAYMENTS: A $25.00 N.S.F. check fee will be assessed to your account for any checks returned by your bank unpaid. Returned checks will not be re-deposited.  Your bank may assess additional fees.

REFUNDS: Refunds of any amount paid on your FACTS account will be handled by S.C.A. in accordance with our refund policy (see S.C.A. Refund Policy).  Please feel free to contact FACTS whenever you have questions or concerns regarding your account (1-800-624-7092 or www.factsmgt.com).

S.C.A. REFUND POLICY: The S.C.A. registration fee is a non-refundable payment. If you choose to withdraw your child from S.C.A. prior to the first day of classes and have paid the Book and Activity fee, Afterschool Program fee, and/or your first tuition payment, you will be entitled to a full refund of your payment(s).

HOWEVER, after the first day of classes, there will be NO refunds of the Book and Activity fee, Afterschool Program fee, and/or any tuition payments made for withdrawal, whether voluntary or involuntary.
