FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
A partnership between Orange Lutheran High School and the parent(s)/guardian(s) for the duration of the student’s matriculation at our school.
Our Commitment: Orange Lutheran High School will provide facilities, faculty, and staff to produce the best educational experience possible for your student. Orange Lutheran High School prioritizes the development of well-balanced students who are strengthened and prepared not only for college but for a Christian life of purpose in a global society.
Parent/Guardian Commitment: Students have the best opportunity for success when parents, church, and school partner in establishing clear communication and enforcing healthy boundaries. To enhance this partnership, it is the responsibility of the parent to read and reinforce the school's expectations and policies outlined in the Parent Student Handbook. Continued enrollment for your student is contingent upon maintaining a current tuition and fees account in good standing, as well as to provide ongoing support and respect of school philosophies, beliefs, policies, procedures, administrators, faculty and staff.
We want to see your student flourish at Orange Lutheran High School and we will do everything possible to ensure he/she remains a Lancer for Life. However, failure to meet your commitment to maintain a current financial account will impact your student. A past due account may result in late fees, disqualification from participating in school activities and athletics, and removal from classes until the account is brought current. If the account is not brought current within the terms provided by Orange Lutheran High School Student Accounts, your student’s enrollment status may be revoked.
CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT
Orange Lutheran deploys a continuous enrollment model which provides families a single contract for your student’s tenure at Orange Lutheran High School. This process is rooted in our desire to make the enrollment experience easier for our families by removing the need to complete re-enrollment steps on an annual basis. Both your selected tuition payment plan and your learning model (traditional on-campus, blended, or full-time online) will default to the existing elections present for the current school year. Any changes to your payment plan must be requested through the Student Accounts office. Learning model changes must be requested through the Counseling office.
FINANCIAL ACCOUNT
FACTS Tuition Management is the school's tuition management system used to manage your financial account. FACTS allows parents/guardians to track tuition, incidental fees, account balance, process tuition and fee payments as well as apply for financial aid. Please note: your contract is not an application for financial aid. It is your responsibility to apply for financial aid annually, as needed.
Parent(s)/Guardian(s) are required to maintain a FACTS account for payment of your student's tuition and any incidental fees regardless of your chosen payment plan. All payments must be made timely pursuant to due dates. Families who elect to pay via cash or check must also maintain a FACTS account and keep it up to date to include contact and demographic information.
