Credit Cards: Credit cards will be accepted as payment under the “One Payment” or “Two Payment” Plan.

For the tuition credit to apply, all payments under the chosen plan must be paid with cash or check. The $250.00 discount does not apply to the Monthly Payment Plan.
Past Due Tuition: In order to run a successful and financially sound school, it is imperative that Ruffing receive tuition and fee payments from its families as they become due. As an accommodation to its families, Ruffing permits a grace period of up to five (5) calendar days after the stated due date for the family to pay tuition and fees.
If payment of tuition is not made by a family according to one of the above listed payment plans or if the parents do not maintain a harmonious relationship with the school, Ruffing has the right to refuse to admit that child(ren) to class, to deny admission to that child(ren), or to permanently remove the child(ren) from the school’s roster. If a family is in arrears, Ruffing has the right to declare immediately due and payable both the arrears and any and all tuition and fees remaining due from the family for the full school year. Ruffing shall have the right to withhold the child(ren)’s records until all such tuition and fees are paid.
Ruffing understands that special circumstances may occasionally arise and requests that such circumstances be brought to the attention of the administration.
