Tuition & Fees

At the heart of all we do is the desire to provide a strong academic environment from a biblical worldview while strengthening the family relationship. Your child will discover his or her God-given potential, make lifelong friends, learn to serve, and graduate ready to make a difference in their community and around the world. With tuition rates significantly less than comparative private schools in the area combined with the flexibility of the University-Model, the value of a Cornerstone education is hard to match.

Tuition Refund Policy

Tuition

The full financial obligation for registered classes takes place when a signed registration form is turned into the office/registrar. Dropping any class or withdrawal from Cornerstone does not alter the financial obligation, nor do discretionary changes in policies, procedures, or curriculum by CPA. Schedule changes do not alter the class charges billed upon registration unless additional fees are incurred for the new classes.

Withdrawal

Tuition is billed for the year (both semesters) but a family may withdraw completely from the school for fall semester and be released from their fall and spring tuition by notifying the registrar by midnight of Apr 1 that they will not be attending. A family may withdraw completely from the school for spring semester and be released from their spring tuition by notifying the registrar by midnight of Oct 1 that they will not be returning for spring semester. These dates do not apply to dropping individual classes, only complete withdrawal.

Unused tuition may be refunded if a family experiences death in their immediate family, loss of work, job transfer out of the area, a student’s or parent’s extended illness, or for any course canceled by Cornerstone.
