FAQ

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER PAYING THE DEPOSIT?

Your enrollment process begins with a deposit payment through Procare. Once completed, you'll receive a link to set up your recurring monthly payments, which will run from September 2025 through May 2026. Your initial deposit will be applied to your final month's tuition (June 2026). Completing this step is necessary to secure your enrollment. For more details about all applicable fees, please refer to our Parent Handbook.

HOW ARE MONTHLY FEES CALCULATED?

Tuition is calculated based only on days when school is in session throughout the academic year. This total is divided into ten equal monthly installments, so your payment remains the same each month regardless of how many program days occur in any given month. We do not offer per-day billing or monthly prorations for student absences.

DOES CLS OFFER FINANCIAL AID?

Yes, CLS provides financial assistance for families in need. Please complete this application to be considered for financial aid.
