Tuition

Tuition is $600 per month, charged from September through May, plus $300, charged in June. Tuition can be reduced through the Tuition Reduction Option (TRO) program (see below for more details). Tuition discounts apply for enrolling more than one child at the school: Monthly tuition for a second child is $550, $500 for a third child, $450 for a fourth child, $400 for a fifth.

Registration Fees

A non-refundable, annual Registration Fee of $600 is required prior to (re)enrollment. This fee is waived for third and subsequent children.

Supply and Activity Fees

A Supply and Activity Fee is charged at the beginning of each semester (September and January) to cover the cost of books, supplies, and most field trips throughout the year.

Grades K - 5: $200 per child per semester
Grades 6 - 8: $250 per child per semester

After School Program

The charge for this State-licensed program varies from $5/hr to $30/week depending on the amount of time the child uses the After School Program. These charges appear as a separate item on the monthly statement.

Additional Events/Field Trips

While most additional events and/or field trips are covered by the semi-annual Supply and Activity Fee, some may be organized on a voluntary basis. Charges and payments for these activities will also appear on the monthly statements of those who choose to participate. Some events may require advanced payment.

Tuition Reduction Options (TROs)

Parents can carry out certain tasks for which BNS offers a reduction in tuition of $60 per month. Examples are:

  • lunch duty one day a week
  • sunshine duty (monitoring the children before school begins)
  • assisting in the classroom for approximately 1 1/2 hours per week
  • cleaning the classrooms, bathrooms, or kitchen
  • building maintenance
  • serving as an officer of the corporation

These jobs provide parents with the opportunity not only to participate in their children's school, but also to reduce the cost of tuition. Every family is guaranteed one TRO per child enrolled, although taking advantage of this opportunity is optional. Families may take on additional TROs, but their availability cannot be guaranteed.
