Below are the tuition rates and class schedule for the 2024-25 school year and are based on 10 payments per year, due the fifteenth of every month, from August to May through our online payment system. If you are still interested in the current school term, please email Director Hafner at Lhafner@bfacademy.org for tuition prices and availability.
Regarding Universal Pre-K (UPK), we want to ensure transparency and a smooth process for student placements for our current BFA families. As of now, we are not committing to applying for UPK for the next school year until we receive clear guidelines from the state regarding student placements. Last year’s experience in ensuring our current students were placed at BFA was challenging, and we want to avoid putting parents and ourselves through a similar situation. We are unsure when UPK will provide that information to schools, once we are given that information we will make a decision that will work best for our current enrolled students.
Important Notes About Enrollment
- Once you are offered a position in our preschool program you have 48-hours to secure your child’s spot. If we do not hear back from you, we will need to go to the next child on the wait list. This is why it’s especially important that you list current emails and phone numbers on your “Intent to Enroll” form.
- After you have accepted your child’s spot, we’ll send you an online enrollment form that you need to complete to register your child.
- A $150 registration/supply fee will be collected from all new preschool families when payment agreement forms are sent out in January. This fee is payable by check or cash (only). Checks should be made out to Ben Franklin Academy Preschool. This registration/supply fee is non-refundable, and will secure a seat for your child for the upcoming school term.
- A $125 supply fee will be collected from all current preschool families and families. In addition, they should complete payment agreement forms (which are sent out in January).
- Tuition will be due on the fifteenth of every month through MySchoolBucks, our online payment system.
