Continuous Enrollment
Southside Christian School (SCS) is blessed with a majority of our current families reenrolling every year.
SCS is introducing the continuous enrollment process to make it easier for parents to maintain their registration at SCS each year until graduation.
Families no longer have to take steps annually to secure a child’s spot for the upcoming school year. From the initial admission through high school graduation, your student will be considered enrolled at SCS unless a parent or guardian notifies the school otherwise.
The contract begins when a student is accepted into SCS and will automatically renew each successive academic year until your student graduates, SCS terminates the contract, or until a family completes a Withdrawal/Not Returning Form located on our school’s website.
All students in good academic, behavioral, and financial standing are eligible to return to SCS for the following school year.
As a family maintains their continuous enrollment, each student’s information (address, phone, email, emergency contacts, pick up information) will renew from grade to grade in our FACTS system.
Each January, SCS will publish the following school year’s tuition and fees, enrollment fee, and other enrollment information.
The enrollment fee will be charged to your FACTS account February 15 for the following academic year.
Once a tuition payment plan is set up, the agreement will renew with the same tuition payment plan each year unless the family provides written notice to the bookkeeper to change the payment plan option.

The rules and policies of the school may be revised at any time and will be adequately communicated to school families when revisions occur.
