Finances
Since BFCS began in 1983, it has been the policy and the practice of the school to trust God to provide the necessary funds to operate the school. Tuition has been priced at a minimal amount in consideration of our families. As we have depended on God, He has always faithfully provided.
A. Tuition
Ben’s Ford Christian School operates on a 12-month tuition payment schedule, beginning in June and ending in May. Payments are due on the 5th of each month. A late charge will be added to any delinquent payments.
Throughout the year the Board has received request to simplify our collection of tuition and fees by consolidating the cost for the year and dividing it over a twelve-month period. We agree that this method of payment would be beneficial due to the fact that your monthly payment would always be the same.
The Fund Raisers will not be included in your prorated amount. However, we need to know if you will be participating or paying the non-participation fee. (These fees will be due in the month the event is scheduled.)
All accounts must be paid on time, as it is essential for the functioning of the school. We appreciate the cooperation of all families in this matter.
Payments may be made in the school office or may be mailed to: Ben’s Ford Christian School
B. Fundraisers
To keep BFCS tuition fee at a minimum, at least three fundraisers are held each year. It is a requirement for all families that attend Ben’s Ford Christian School to participate in all fundraising programs. Parents are offered the option of paying a designated flat fee in lieu of participation. Specific information on fundraisers can be obtained at the time of registration.
Ball games are also a means of raising funds for BFCS. Because these funds benefit the whole school, all parents are occasionally required to work in the concession stand.
