Contract

If a student is accepted to Orchard Friends School, an enrollment contract will be sent to the parent if the placement is private, or to the school district if the placement is through the school system.

A $1,000.00 non-refundable enrollment fee must be returned with the signed contract when the student is placed by the parent. This fee will be applied toward tuition.  When the school district places the student, the $1,000.00 non-refundable enrollment fee is charged in the tuition and does not need to be paid separately.

All tuition or tuition payment plans must be in place and a current immunization record must be received by Orchard Friends School prior to the first day of school.
