Continuous Enrollment

List of 10 frequently asked questions.

• What is Continuous Enrollment?

  Continuous Enrollment is a simplified re-enrollment process that eliminates annual contracts.  Once a student is enrolled at Mt. Bethel Christian Academy, he/she is assumed to be enrolled through completion of twelfth grade, unless the family notifies the school otherwise.

• Why did MBCA make the change to Continuous Enrollment Contracts?

  Continuous Enrollment reflects the expectation that a child’s experience at MBCA is a relationship that lasts through to graduation while honoring the annual partnership between MBCA and our families.  Additionally, it reduces the amount of paperwork parents need to complete and streamlines our administrative processes to better serve our community.

• I am enrolling more than one child. Do I need to sign a Continuous Enrollment Contract for each one?

  Yes, you will need to complete one Continuous Enrollment Contract for each child, but you will only need to do it once for their entire career at MBCA.

• I am planning to keep my child(ren) at MBCA through graduation, but what if my plans change?

  If your situation changes and your child(ren) will not be attending MBCA for the upcoming school year, you must inform the school via the Enrollment Notification Form before February 1st.

• Where and when will tuition and fees be posted?

  Tuition and fees for the upcoming school year are posted on or before January 15th. The information is shared with current families through a letter from the school’s administration; the information is also posted on the MBCA website.

• Is a deposit required?

  All families are required to provide a $1,500 deposit per student enrolled which will be billed and drafted by FACTS Tuition Management account in February each year.

• How do payment plans work?

  The school offers three payment plans (1 payment, 3 payments, or 10 monthly payments).  Families will set their preference within the FACTS Tuition Management  when they first enroll. During the “Enrollment Notification Period” families can make payment plan changes for the following year by contacting the MBCA Business Office or billing@mtbethelchristian.org.  Families who do not wish to make a change to their set up from the previous year do not need to do anything. 

• I am applying for tuition assistance. How does the Continuous Contract take into consideration my tuition assistance application?

  All families who wish to apply for Tuition Assistance must begin their application in FACTS by February 1st. The completed application and supporting documents must be submitted by March 1st. Per the contract wording, families have 10 days from the date of notification of the tuition assistance offer to provide notice of termination via the Enrollment Notification Form if the tuition assistance package is not accepted.  Families must meet all tuition assistance deadlines outlined in the contract.

• Will I need to fill out a new tuition assistance application each year?

  Yes.  Tuition assistance will continue to be an annual process and families must submit new applications each year. The online application is accessible through the MBCA website. Questions about tuition assistance should be directed to our Director of Operations (tuitionassistance@mtbethelchristian.org).
