Tuition/Fees

Standifer Gap Seventh-day Adventist School is a nonprofit institution that relies on regular tuition payments and financial support from the Standifer Gap SDA Church to cover its operational expenses. Prompt payments are important and welcomed so that the costs of education can be kept as low as possible.

Tuition is payable over 10-months from August through May. The 1st payment is due at registration. The remaining 9 payments must be received at the school office by the 15th of each month, starting September 15, 2026 and ending May 15, 2027. A monthly tuition bill will be sent to each family around the 25th of each month. Failure to receive a monthly statement does not negate parents’ responsibility for payment. It is the parents’ responsibility to inform the school about change of address, e-mail, telephone or church membership.

Assistance from Churches/Organizations: From time to time, churches or organizations provide assistance to their members whose children attend Standifer Gap School. If this is your situation, please contact your church/organization in regard to financial support. At registration, provide written communication from your church or organization outlining how much support they are committing to provide and on what schedule.
