Continuous Enrollment Explanation
Our Continuous Enrollment agreement will minimize the amount of paperwork and forms required from families each consecutive year of enrollment. Families will not be required to submit annual re-enrollment documents. We also will benefit from this arrangement as it allows for long term planning and minimizes our handling of the enrollment process each year. Remaining enrolled year to year at Calumet Christian Schools will be very simple and convenient. Once enrolled, families need only notify us if they intend NOT to return. If you are not certain about being at Calumet for the long haul, Continuous Enrollment may not be the choice for you at this time. There is NO penalty or disadvantage for choosing traditional enrollment.

Do I have to commit to staying through graduation?
We hope your students thrive at Calumet Christian School and walk across the stage at a May graduation. We understand this may not happen for some families. Therefore, there is always an option to notify Calumet of your intention not to return and therefore be released from your Continuous Enrollment contract. Each year, the opportunity to be released from your contract without financial obligation for future years will be by the first business day in February.
What happens if I want to cancel my Continuous Enrollment Agreement?
To cancel your Continuous Enrollment agreement for the upcoming school year, the Continuous Enrollment Opt-out Form must be submitted by the first business day of February of each year. If notice is received by this date, you will have no further financial obligation for the following years.
After the first business day of February, obligations remain for a percentage of tuition as follows:
withdrawal during February and March- 10% of tuition is due;
withdrawal prior to May 31st - 20% of tuition is due;
withdrawal during June and July - 30% of tuition is due;
withdrawal during August or after - 50% of tuition is due.
