Continuous Enrollment

Yearly we retain better than 85% of our student body, which is a fairly steady record over the past several years. Traditional enrollment models require families who wish to return to re-enroll every year — a process that can seem both tedious and stressful. Continuous Enrollment allows us to create an opt-OUT process for annual enrollment which reduces that stress and creates fewer steps for families who wish to remain with our school. Once a family signs their Tuition and Continuous Enrollment Agreement, they do not have to sign it again.

Continuous Enrollment is a common-sense approach which is followed by almost all colleges and is being adopted by many Christian schools nationwide.

No. Preschool/PreK and part-time students will need to re-enroll each year. Please contact the Admissions Office or the front office of your child’s class for the re-enrollment form and instructions on completing the re-enrollment process.

There is a Tuition and Continuous Enrollment Agreement Form, found in the Enrollment Packet that each family goes through when they first enroll with the school. The Continuous Enrollment Agreement only needs to be submitted once.

Tuition and Continuous Enrollment Agreement:

• I/We agree that the term of my student’s Continuous Enrollment begins with this signed Tuition and Continuous Enrollment Agreement, and thereafter continues automatically through completion of grade 12 or, if necessary, until the official FRCS opt out procedures are completed.
• I/We understand that for families with monthly FACTS payments the Continuous Enrollment Fee will be divided and included in the family’s remaining FACTS payments for the current school year, beginning in March. Families who pay tuition in full will have their Continuous Enrollment Fee added to the next year’s tuition payment that is billed in May. Families who pay tuition by semester will have their Continuous Enrollment Fee added to the next year’s first tuition payment that is billed in July. The Continuous Enrollment Fee can also be paid in full by February 20th directly to FRCS via check, bill pay or credit card.
• I/We understand that the Continuous Enrollment Fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.
• I/We understand that unless tuition is paid in full by July 1, I/we must maintain a current FACTS agreement as directed by FRCS.
• I/We agree to fulfill all financial obligations promptly.
• I/We agree that in the event that our family encounters financial difficulties we will discuss possible solutions with the FRCS Finance Department and to seek information about Biblical stewardship in order to remain current with our tuition payments.

Unique circumstances: Front Range Christian School recognizes that family plans change. In the event there are unique circumstances (see exceptions below), families un-enrolling after the announced deadline (March 1) will be entitled to a refund of the Continuous Enrollment fee:

• Moving/relocating away from the area served by Front Range Christian School
• Educational needs for the student that can no longer be met at Front Range Christian School as determined by FRCS
• Withdrawal at the request of FRCS
• Inadequate financial aid award
• Other circumstances as approved by FRCS

The Continuous Enrollment fee (CEF), sometimes referred to as a “registration fee” in other schools, indicates your family’s commitment to having your children enrolled at FRCS for the next school year and provides funds for per-pupil expenditures that need to be made prior to the start of the next school year. The CEF payment will be divided and included in the family’s remaining FACTS payments for the current school year, beginning in March, to reduce the financial impact on families’ monthly budgets.

The Continuous Enrollment fee is billed to the family’s FACTS accounts beginning in March, if the family does not opt out.

The March payment is approximately 1/3 of the CEF. The CEF payment will be divided and included in the family’s remaining FACTS payments for the current school year, beginning in March to reduce the financial impact on families’ monthly budgets.

Yes, all families will need to have a FACTS account for tuition collection. In addition to automatically collecting tuition payments, FACTS manages the collection of the Continuous Enrollment Fee (CEF) payments and other fees, as needed.

Those families who already have a FACTS account do not need to register for one again. Those who do not have a FACTS account should do so in January or February. The process is online and simple. Simply go to the Family Portal (use the button below) then go to the Financial menu.

• When a completed tuition assistance application and supporting documents are submitted to FAST by April 15, the student’s enrollment becomes contingent upon acceptance of tuition assistance award.
• Tuition assistance will only be awarded when accounts are current; P3 hours may also be considered.
• If tuition assistance is not adequate, the Continuous Enrollment payment will be refunded only if the tuition assistance deadline has been met and paperwork is completed.

Enrolling a new sibling follows the same process as a new student. Simply fill out the online application and, once submitted, the Admissions staff will walk you through the rest of the process.

If your student is transferring from our full-time program to part-time, please contact the Admissions Office before the deadline to walk you through this process.

• From the end of the opt out period (February 28/29) until May 31 you will lose your Continuous Enrollment Fee (CEF)
• From June 1 to June 30, you lose your Continuous Enrollment Fee and will be charged one month’s tuition
• After July 1, you lose your Continuous Enrollment Fee and you will be charged for the balance of the present semester

Why the penalty? These dates and charges are set due to the costs incurred by FRCS in anticipation of your child’s enrollment. Expenses such as supplies, consumable materials/curriculum and hiring of faculty are all made prior to the start of school and reflective of enrollment commitments.

• If you opt out and decide to enroll at a later date, your student’s spot at FRCS will no longer be guaranteed and will be subject to FRCS having space available in their grade(s).
• The Tuition and Continuous Enrollment Agreement will need to be filled out again and the CEF will need to be paid in full upon enrollment.
• Financial Aid awards will be forfeited. Financial Aid applications will need to be resubmitted and awards will be made with any remaining funds, if available.

If your family is in a position in which you need to opt out of continuous enrollment for your child(ren) at FRCS, please follow this simple procedure:

1. Notify the principal of the appropriate campus or other school administrator. We encourage you to schedule a meeting to discuss any specific issues or concerns as per the Guidelines for Community Life listed in the Family Handbook. If there are no specific issues or concerns, for example your family is being relocated, scheduling this meeting is not required.
2. Complete the Student Opt Out Form which is digitally submitted to both the Admissions Office and the Finance Department.
3. Complete the anonymous survey regarding your experience at FRCS when it is sent to you.

Please remember that student records and transcripts are not released for withdrawn students until all current accounts are paid in full.

Please email  and we will forward your question to the appropriate person or department.
