1st-12th Grade CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT

In a nutshell, we’re simplifying the paperwork for 1st – 12th grade students. Once you agree to be a NorthPointe student you are set for the length of your time at NPC. Rather than opting in every year, families let us know if their student is opting out.

When you sign the NorthPointe Christian enrollment contract for incoming 1st – 12th grade students, you automatically opt into continuous enrollment. Your student is considered part of NorthPointe Christian until they graduate or you notify us. With growing enrollment, this process will ensure we never give away a NorthPointe student’s seat unless we hear directly.

Current families, sign your continuous enrollment by MARCH 1st to guarantee your spot for the last time!

An automatic, nonrefundable tuition deposit is due each April. NorthPointe will provide the opportunity each year for families to opt-out of continuous enrollment prior to the automatic withdrawal.

Because we save a student’s seat in their CURRENT program, families are encouraged to request program changes early.

​​The continuous enrollment tuition deposit is a non-refundable payment that is applied to next year’s tuition. For families opting in by the MARCH 1st deadline, this payment is due April 20th. (For those enrolled in automatic billing, this payment will be automatically withdrawn.)

An exception will be made to the continuous enrollment contract and the tuition deposit will be refundable in the following scenarios:

1. Your family submits a withdrawal form by March 1st; the tuition deposit will not be withdrawn
2. Move/relocating outside of the greater Grand Rapids area prior to school starting in August
3. NorthPointe requires or recommends withdrawal
4. Job loss that affects ability to afford NorthPointe
5. Other unique circumstances approved by the NorthPointe Leadership or Board

The continuous enrollment nonrefundable tuition deposit is calculated based on your student’s grade and tuition for next year. The deposit is equal to one month’s tuition (1/11th of tuition) and will be applied to next year’s tuition.

For families that sign the initial continuous enrollment agreement by MARCH 1st, this deposit will be withdrawn on April 20th. Due to this change, current NPC families’ 2022-2023 tuition plan will be pushed back by one month to prevent families from paying double tuition in April. Please be aware that your April deposit may be slightly higher than what you currently pay in monthly tuition due to the change in tuition rates.

For families that re-enroll or enroll after March 1st, the downpayment will be due within two weeks of signing the contract.

A tuition assistance application is required on an annual basis. An application is available at this link.

Returning families must submit their tuition assistance application and required documentation by MARCH 1st in order to have assistance applied to the April tuition deposit.

New families should apply for tuition assistance when they apply for enrollment in order to have any awards applied to their initial tuition deposit.

Tuition assistance is limited and early applications are encouraged.

We understand extenuating circumstances may prevent a family from fulfilling their continuous enrollment contract. The tuition deposit is refundable in the following scenarios:

1. Your family submits a withdrawal form by March 1st; the tuition deposit will not be withdrawn
2. Move/relocating outside of the greater Grand Rapids area prior to school starting in August
3. NorthPointe requires or recommends withdrawal
4. Job loss that affects ability to afford NorthPointe
5. Other unique circumstances approved by the NorthPointe Leadership or Board

We understand some families need additional time to finalize their decision. You can reach out to the admissions team (admissions@npchristian.org) for your personal withdrawal form link. Please know that after the MARCH 1st continuous enrollment deadline, we can not guarantee your student’s spot.

In future years, families who are unsure can avoid the continuous enrollment tuition deposit by withdrawing by the deadline. Families will have the option to enroll again (assuming there is still room), but will be required to pay the $150 registration fee.

NorthPointe offers a one payment, two payment, or 11 month payment plan. For each plan, the initial month of tuition (1/11th of tuition) is due as a tuition deposit upon re-enrolling or enrolling.

The next payment will be due in July for all plans.

For the monthly plan, the balance after the tuition deposit is paid July- March and then again in May. April is reserved annually to pay the tuition deposit for the upcoming school year.

Because of the variety of programs and days of choice, our Early Childhood programs and Kindergarten will not be part of our continuous enrollment program. Families will be asked to re-enroll each year. Early enrollment/re-enrollment is highly encouraged as space is limited.
