It is good to take stock of things halfway through the "school" year, it is good to remind ourselves of our statement of faith. If you haven't looked at it in a while, take a few moments to re-familiarize yourself with it. It may also be found on page 1 of the handbook:
Recognizing the diversity of Christian expression and traditions, New Hope Tutorials, Inc. is intentionally interdenominational and strives to recognize and promote areas of agreement for all Christians. To ensure that the Christ revealed in Scripture is the foundation of our educational philosophy, that His Kingdom remains the ground of our proclamation and our faith, and to affirm the common heritage of all denominations, New Hope has chosen to adopt as its statement of faith the Nicene Creed. Distinctive doctrines beyond the scope of this creed fall within the realm of parental and pastoral guidance and will not be promoted by New Hope or its tutors. New Hope requires that all its tutors, administrators and board members affirm their belief in this statement of biblical faith and see Christ as the foundation for all teaching and the single criterion for Truth. New Hope does not require registering families to adhere to the statements of faith embodied in this Creed; however, such families should be aware that tutors will teach from a decidedly Christian perspective and are encouraged to share their faith with their students.
Payment information is on page 4 of the Parent/Student Handbook.
Payment is due the 1st of each month and SHOULD BE MAILED to New Hope’s mailing address. If you wish you may leave your check in the "tuition" mail slot in the director's office. However, New Hope cannot be held responsible for checks dropped off here. Please try to avoid hand-delivering checks to the director and NEVER hand-deliver a check to a tutor!
Payments not received by the tenth of the month will automatically incur a late fee of $20. If payment is not received by the end of the month, the student will not be allowed to attend tutorials until the tuition is up to date or an alternative payment plan is created. Parents are encouraged to contact New Hope if there are extenuating circumstances or unexpected financial difficulties during the course of the year. New Hope is willing to work with parents to help resolve these situations.
Monthly payments are determined by calculating the total tutorial cost for the year plus course fees for the year and dividing that amount evenly over ten months (September through June). Parents are also welcome to pay by the semester or by the year. Since payments are the same every month, New Hope does not send out monthly statements; parents will receive just one statement at the beginning of the year. This saves New Hope the time and cost of mailing monthly statements.
There are no credits for student absences.
Tutor absences will be made up during the course of the year.
