Oak Meadow Payment Plan
Please note: Our payment plan is available only for tuition fees of $900 or more.

Our payment plan helps make a high-quality Oak Meadow education possible for more families by allowing them to spread out payments over time. Families pay 40 percent down at the time of enrollment and the remaining amount is divided into monthly payments (4 months for a single semester enrollment, and 8 months for a full year). FACTS, our tuition management company, charges a one-time $45 fee for this interest-free payment plan. Oak Meadow will set up your payment plan with FACTS once we’ve collected all necessary information. To enroll in the FACTS monthly payment plan, contact your educational counselor at (802) 251-7250.

School Year Extensions

Students enrolled in a full year course have 10 months to complete their courses. If additional time beyond the 10-month school year is needed to complete a course, there are two options available: purchase a 2-month extension or re-enroll for an additional semester.

Two-month extension:

Because courses for enrolled students vary in regard to the number of lessons a student will be asked to complete, a student’s teacher will determine if he/she is eligible for an extension. The fee for an extension is $300. As a rule of thumb, students will NOT be granted an extension if he/she has more than 15 percent of a course yet to finish. If you are behind on your work and feel you might need an extension, you must contact your teacher to determine if you are eligible. Please note: A school year may not last more than 12 months, and no extension beyond 2 months will be granted. If your teacher determines that more than 15 percent of your course is outstanding, you may be required to re-enroll for an additional semester in order to complete the course.

Re-enroll for an additional semester:

For full year students who are unable to complete the course by the original end date and who do not qualify for an extension, we offer the option of re enrolling in the course. Students who have finished their first semester work with a passing grade will be awarded first semester credit, and are welcome to re-enroll in the second semester only. A single semester enrollment allows students five months to complete the remainder of the lessons in the course. When re-enrolling in a course, students begin where they left off and are not asked to resubmit lessons they have already completed. If first semester credit has not been earned, however, the student will need to re-enroll for a full year. No further extensions will be granted when repeating a course.

Materials Credit

HIGH SCHOOL:

If you have the required textbook for a core course, we will apply a $50 credit per course to the total tuition. No credit is given for an Oak Meadow coursebook.
