Home & School Dues and Fall Calendar charges are not considered tuition payments and will not be refunded in the event of a withdrawal after December 1st..

Fall Calendars:

Each family will receive 30 Fall Calendars in November to sell, gift, etc. All stubs are to be returned to South Boston Catholic Academy, and they will then be entered into a daily drawing. This fundraiser is a $300.00 commitment that is added to your FACTS account and paid simultaneously with tuition payments.

Home & School Dues:

Each family is also responsible for a $100.00 fee that benefits the Home and School Committee, which sponsors many school-related activities throughout the year. This is also billed through your FACTS account via incidental expenses.

Whenever possible, charges will be invoiced through the FACTS system on the 5th of each month, with the amount to be deducted on the 15th of the month.

If tuition amounts are split among multiple payment plans, these charges will be split equally among the plans, unless otherwise notified.

During the school year, if you need to make changes to your FACTS Payment plan, they must be done at least ten (10) business days prior to a due date for changes to be implemented.

• Changes to banking and/or credit card information must be done directly through FACTS in one of two ways:
