How do I access my child’s enrollment contract?

You will receive an email from the Admission Team outlining instructions for accessing and completing the contract. If you encounter any problems, please contact a member of the Admission Team at (225) 755-2684 or [email protected].

Who is required to sign my child’s enrollment contract?

Contracts must be signed by both parents. Each parent must have his or her own email address and unique log in; parent 1 cannot sign for parent 2. If there is a unique family circumstance preventing two parent signatures on the student’s contract, please contact the Admission Team at (225) 755-2684 or by email at [email protected].

Can I process multiple contracts simultaneously?

No, families with more than one child at Episcopal must complete each child's contract separately.

What are my commitment fee payment options?

The commitment fee must be paid by credit card or electronic check upon submission of the enrollment contract. Contracts cannot be submitted and will remain incomplete without this electronic payment.

What are my tuition payment options?

Families may choose from one of three payment options:

  • One payment - Due on July 1, 2024

  • Two payments - Due on July 1, 2024 and December 1, 2024

  • Ten payments - Due on June 1, 2024 and the first of each month thereafter through March 1, 2025

Families selecting the two-pay or ten-pay plan will be charged interest on tuition and fees. A schedule of interest charges will be provided within the electronic contract and is also available on our website under Admission – Affording Episcopal > Tuition and Fee Schedule.  Families selecting the ten payment option are required to enroll in automatic monthly payments.

Once the contract is submitted, the tuition and fee balance for the upcoming year will appear under the Billing Management tab of the financially responsible parent’s account.  Tuition payments can be made by check, credit card, or electronic check. Please note, a processing fee of 2.95% will be charged for credit or debit card payments. There is no fee to pay by electronic check.

Can I change my payment plan after I have submitted my contract?

Once a parent has chosen a particular tuition payment option, that choice will be considered final and binding for billing purposes unless election to pay in lump sum is made. The payment option selected will apply to tuition and all scheduled fees and other fees, unless otherwise specified by a signed written agreement between the School and the parent.

A $50 administrative fee will be charged for any payment plan changes made after March 31, 2024. The payment plan selected cannot be changed after May 31, 2024.

Will Episcopal offer the incentive drawing of a $2,000 reduction in tuition for returning students?

Yes, all re-enrollment contracts submitted by the contract deadline will be entered in the drawing for the

$2,000 tuition discount incentive.  The winner will be contacted by the Admission Department in late February.

Where can I find the 2024-2025 Tuition and Fee schedule?

A link to the schedule of tuition and fees for the 2024-2025 school year can be found within the contract. You may also access the fee schedule on our website under Admission – Affording Episcopal > Tuition and Fee Schedule.
