Tuition and Fees

Tuition is charged monthly for 9 months (from September through June), a quarter (1/4) of a month in August and another 1/4 in June (at the end of the academic year). 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. The second child in the same family receives a $50 per month reduction. The third child in the same family receives a $100 per month reduction. The fourth child in the same family receives a $150 per month reduction; and the 5th child in the same family receives a $200 per month reduction.

Grades 6 - 8: $700 per child per year

After School Program

The charge for this State-licensed program varies from $6/hr to $40/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. The details of the different TRO's available are described in the 2010-2011 TRO Program guidelines. Some examples are:

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.
