COVID-19 Financial Relief Response

Please contact Regine Harding, our accounts receivable specialist, in the AACS Business Office at rharding@aacsonline.org, to initiate tuition deferment. 

Payments scheduled in May for the new 2020-2021 school year can be deferred to January 15, 2021. If you choose to defer, the first tuition payment for the new school year will be the June payment as indicated on your FACTS payment schedule.

To take advantage of this option, please follow the instructions in the "Initiate Tuition Deferment"  tab. " The monthly payment plan schedule must be used for the 2020-2021 school year to take advantage of the May payment deferment option. Navigate to "Change Payment Plan" tab for more details. 

Please keep in mind that January 2021 is also when the re-enrollment deposit is due.

 Parents whose accounts are current (not overdue), and who have payments scheduled to be paid in April, can defer the payment to May 20. Overdue accounts will need to be paid in-full first, in order to be eligible for a deferment.

Payments scheduled in May for the new 2020-2021 school year can be deferred to January 15, 2021. If you choose to defer, the first tuition payment for the new school year will be the June payment as indicated on your FACTS payment schedule.

To change a 2020-2021 payment plan* (e.g., from annual or semiannual to monthly), contact Regine Harding, our accounts receivable specialist, in the AACS Business Office at rharding@aacsonline.org. 

Payment plan changes must be requested by April 30, 2020, in order to allow enough time for FACTS to apply the new schedule and prepare the account for the June payment deferment if requested.

*At this time, FACTS does not offer a COVID-19 relief discount on their enrollment-fee pricing for its payment plans.

AACS families contracted for bus transportation services will have April's bus service fee waived or credited if already paid. If you have questions about transportation, please contact Andrea Fador, director of transportation,  at afador@aacsonline.org.

Lunch programs K-8 are handled by the campus-specific main office staff. If you have questions, please contact the appropriate main office staff person.

Lunches at the Upper School, which are an additional cost per student, will be credited back to families based on the number of remote instructional days due to COVID-19. 

If a family has an outstanding balance for 2019-2020, the prorated credits will be applied to the outstanding balance. 

If there is no outstanding balance for 2019-2020, the credits will be applied toward the June 2020-2021 tuition payment. 

If a family has no outstanding 2019-2020 balance and no children re-enrolling for 2020-2021, the credits will be mailed out no later than June 30, 2020. 

The COVID-19 crisis has leveled an unforeseen impact on family finances worldwide. Our Galatians 6:10 Fund is designed for short-term assistance to support families' efforts to keep their children enrolled through an unexpected hardship, such as this pandemic.

We have awarded all available funds to families who applied for financial relief due to the pandemic. Thanks to our May 7 Virtual Spring Spectacular: AACS together, we had an additional $40 to allocate. 

Please don't hesitate to contact Regine Harding  in our business office with any tuition or financial relief questions.
