Continuous Enrollment

Continuous Enrollment (CE) allows us to better fulfill our purpose and mission in the lives of students. When students are continuously enrolled, from their initial enrollment into the school system until they graduate from Canterbury, the continuous enrollment system lets us maximize our resources to provide an education to our families at the highest level of excellence.

Re-enrollment for the 2020-21 school year will feel much like it has in the past. You will be signing a new contract and submitting the tuition down payment (formerly the “deposit"). However, this contract includes language about Continuous Enrollment so that when next year’s re-enrollment season comes around, you won’t need to sign a new contract. You’ll be automatically re-enrolled unless you choose to opt out. Much simpler!

If you choose to opt out, you will notify the school via an official form (coming soon). You will need to do so during the “change period” which is January 15-March 15. If you do not opt out during this change period, you will automatically be enrolled for the following school year.

The “Change Period” is from January 15-March 15 when you are able to make changes to your enrollment status (opt out), your payment plan, address updates, select tuition insurance, etc.

If you are not sure if your student(s) will be returning to Canterbury, you may choose to opt out of enrollment and then choose to opt back in (re-enroll) after the change period. By opting out, we will release your students’ space in their class and cannot guarantee that it will not be filled by new students. Please communicate your concerns and plans to the Director of Admission for more information about this process.

The Tuition Down Payment is just what it sounds like - a “down payment” on each student’s tuition for the following school year. This payment is collected in order to assist the Canterbury administration in effectively planning for staffing and curriculum for the following school year. The payment amount is subtracted from the total yearly tuition.

*For returning families, this was formerly know as the "Tuition Deposit".

Tuition Down Payments for the following school year are due by March 15. Families who have not submitted the Tuition Down Payment by this date will be considered not enrolled and their space will be released. Once the Tuition Down Payment has been paid, the student(s) are then added to the waiting pool, and placed on a class list as space becomes available.

It is important to submit the Tuition Down Payment so that Canterbury can plan staffing, enrollment for new families, and logistics for the following year. As incentive, there is an Early Tuition Down Payment discount of $300 if submitted by February 14.

The Tuition Down Payment is not refundable.

Families applying for financial assistance should submit their financial aid application via TADS by March 15. When a completed application and supporting documents are submitted and verified before March 15, the student’s enrollment becomes contingent upon acceptance of their financial aid award. You will then have 10 days to respond to this offer to determine if it is sufficient or not. If the financial aid award does not work for the family, you will be able to opt out of enrollment.

Currently enrolled families may apply for Variable Tuition anytime after December 1. The application should be completed and verified by TADS by March 15 for priority consideration. Applications submitted after that time may have limited resources available.
