Continuous Enrollment – For Returning Families

In order to provide our families with a system of enrollment that is seamless and paperless, we utilize a continuous enrollment system where students are continually enrolled from their initial enrollment into LM until the graduation of the student(s) from Lancaster Mennonite, or the termination of the agreement. The agreement is in effect from the date of enrollment and renews automatically each successive academic year.

If a student(s) will not be returning the following school year, it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to notify LM in writing by February 1 of the current school year. If such timely notice is not received, the student will be considered enrolled for the following school year. In February, the parent/guardian will be charged the non-refundable Annual Enrollment Fee to their FACTS account. If fee is not paid by March 3, the fee will increase by $100. Beginning with the June payment, as outlined in the tuition plan, the parent/guardian will become responsible for tuition payments. LM reserves the right to amend this agreement as needed with reasonable notice.

Annual Enrollment Fee

学生在下一学年注册需要支付不可退还的年度注册费。对于学生在LM注册的每一年,这笔费用将每年自动从家庭的FACTS账户中扣除。一旦支付,注册费将不予退还,除非取决于经济援助。

学费

Tuition for the following academic year will be published each year in January. Tuition shall be paid according to the plan chosen by the parent/guardian in their FACTS account. New families will be contacted by FACTS to set up their payment plan. Payments for the following school year run on a 12 month cycle beginning in June.

Continuous Enrollment FAQ

  • What is Continuous Enrollment?

In order to provide our families with a system of enrollment that is seamless and paperless, we have adopted a continuous enrollment system where students are continually enrolled from their initial acceptance into LM until the student graduates from Lancaster Mennonite School. This system allows us to better fulfill our purpose and mission in the lives of students, and more accurately plan and budget for each coming school year. When students are continuously enrolled, we are able to maximize our resources to provide Christian education to our students at the highest levels of excellence and care.

  • What is the Annual Enrollment Fee?

The Annual Enrollment Fee allows LM to secure a PreK to 11th grade student’s spot for the following school year. This payment is collected each year to assist the LM administration in effectively planning for staffing and curriculum for the next academic year. The fee is discounted for current LM families who are registered for enrollment by March 1.

Kindergarten readiness assessment will take place in the spring to determine the best classroom placement for the following school year

  • How is the Annual Enrollment Fee collected?

For current families, a discounted annual enrollment fee will be billed to their FACTS account in February.  For one returning child the fee is $150.00, and for families with multiple returning children enrolled the fee is $250.00.  (Enrollment fee does not include the application fee for any new students.)

Parents will need to go into their FACTS account on receiving the fee invoice to pay the charge, unless their account is set up to automatically pay incidental fees.  If you have set up your FACTS account for incidental fees to be automatic, the fee will be deducted from your bank account on March 3.

  • My PreK to 11th grade student will not be returning to LM next fall.  What should I do?

If you know that your student will not be returning to LM for the next academic year, please notify the Admissions Office in writing by February 1 to stop the Annual Enrollment Fee from being automatically charged in February. Seniors who are graduating are not included in Continuous Enrollment.

  • 如果我在 2 月份未支付年度注册费或在 2 月 1 日之前选择退出注册会怎样?

The Enrollment Fee is discounted for our current families who do not opt out of enrollment in January.  If the fee is not paid by March 3, it increases to the regular rate of $250/one student or $350/family, and the student is not enrolled or placed on a class list for the upcoming school year.  Once the fee is paid, the student is then added to the waiting pool and will be placed on a class list as space is available.    

  • Is the Enrollment Fee refundable?

Once paid, the Annual Enrollment Fee is non-refundable, except when contingent on financial aid or other exceptions as approved by Administration.

  • 我怎么知道每年的学费是多少?

Tuition rates will be distributed to current families in January of each year before the enrollment process begins for the next year. Visit the website to see current rates: https://www.lancastermennonite.org/admissions/tuition/.

  • 我打算申请经济援助。我应该什么时候为我的学生注册?

You should still pay the Annual Enrollment Fee in order to secure your student’s spot for next year and to take advantage of the discounted fee available as a current family.  The FAST application for financial aid must be completed annually to request aid, and will open in January.  Awards are typically decided in April for the coming year.  The enrollment fee is refundable when financial aid does not meet a family’s financial need.
