WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT
At ACA, we want re-enrolling your child each year to be simple and stress-free. That’s why we use a Continuous Enrollment Agreement. Once your child is enrolled, they are automatically re-enrolled each year until graduation. No extra paperwork needed!
Important Dates
• February 28, 2026 – deadline to notify the Admissions Office in writing (admissions@acanj.org)
• March 1, 2026 – $150 enrollment fee is billed per student
• June 1, 2026 – 2026/2027 tuition commitment is binding
Key Points for Parents
1. Let Us Know If Your Child Won’t Return
If your child will not be returning for the next school year, just notify the Admissions Office in writing by February 28. If we don’t receive notice, the non-refundable registration fee will be billed automatically, and your payment plan for the next year will be set up using the same billing method as the current year.
2. Tuition Commitment
Your tuition commitment becomes binding on June 1. Withdrawals after that date may include fees, because our budget depends on confirmed enrollment.
3. Good Standing Matters
Continuous enrollment is based on your child’s successful completion of the school year and your account being in good financial standing. Students with outstanding balances or unpaid fees will not be automatically re-enrolled.
4. Payment Options
We offer several flexible payment plans, including annual or monthly options through FACTS Tuition Management. Families can choose what works best for them.
Why Continuous Enrollment Helps Families
• Saves you the hassle of annual re-enrollment paperwork.
• Keeps your child’s spot secured each year.
• Helps ACA plan and budget to provide the best Christ-centered education for every student.
By completing the 2025–2026 enrollment packet, all families joined our Continuous Enrollment Agreement, which automatically keeps students enrolled each year until graduation. Review a copy of the agreement below at any time.
Continuous Enrollment Agreement
By submitting your electronic signature on the online Continuous Enrollment form, the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) (“Parent”) agree to the following:
Parent is entering into a legally binding contract with Ambassador Christian Academy, a New Jersey Non-Profit Corporation, herein referred to as “ACA”; that the terms and conditions of this agreement are set forth below; and that this agreement extends until the graduation of the student from ACA or the termination of this Agreement as provided herein. Accordingly the term of this Agreement shall be in effect for the 2026-27 academic year and shall renew automatically for each successive academic year until graduation from ACA, unless and until this Agreement is terminated by ACA or written notice of termination from Parent is received by the Admissions Office on or before February 28th of each year. Simply stated, if a student will not be returning the following school year, the parent must notify ACA in writing by February 28th of the current school year. In the event that a written notice of termination is not received by ACA, a non-refundable registration fee will be billed to the Parent’s account and automatically processed for payment according to the payment method on file and a new Payment Agreement for the following school year will be created with the same billing options as the current year. Variable Tuition Rates and Fees are subject to change each year, and Parents will be notified prior to February 28th.
The obligation to pay a student’s tuition to ACA for each academic year shall become binding on June 1 unless Parent notifies ACA in writing of Parent’s withdrawal from proposed enrollment at ACA prior to June 1. As a non-profit entity whose operating budget is set on enrollment figures, the loss of student enrollment presents a significant impact. To offset the impact the following withdrawal fees will apply:
Withdrawal Before School Year Starts: If a student withdraws after June 1st but prior to the first day of school, a withdrawal fee equal to two months of tuition will be assessed (monthly tuition is total divided by ten months), along with the non-refundable application and registration fees.
Withdrawal After School Year Starts: If a student withdraws after the start of the school year, the Parent(s) agree to pay a withdrawal fee equal to the tuition for the current month of withdrawal, plus an additional two months of tuition – (monthly tuition is total tuition divided by 10 months). Any prepaid tuition, (excluding non-refundable fees) and refundable fees beyond the withdrawal fee will be refunded, subject to the terms outlined above. If the withdrawal fee exceeds any prepaid amount, the Parent(s) agree to remit the balance due within 10 days of the withdrawal date. Student records will not be released until the withdrawal fee is paid in full and the account is in good standing.
Continuous enrollment is dependent upon successful completion of the current academic year. ACA shall be the sole arbiter of whether a student is eligible and such determination may include nonacademic considerations. In the event ACA does not offer continuing enrollment, the registration fee shall be refunded.
Continuous Enrollment is dependent upon the financial good standing of the student account. The student will not be automatically re-enrolled until all previous account balances are paid in full, including incidental expenses such as Lunch, Before/After Care and other miscellaneous expenses attached to the student account.
