Continuous Enrollment

Continuous Enrollment Information for the 2025-2026 School Year

As of January 2025, East Cobb Christian School will move to a Continuous Enrollment Contract from the 2025-2026 school year and forward.

What is Continuous Enrollment?

Continuous Enrollment is a simplified re-enrollment process that eliminates annual contracts.  Once a student is enrolled at East Cobb Christian School, he/she is assumed to be enrolled through completion of 8th grade, UNLESS the family notifies the school otherwise by completing a Change of Enrollment Form.  

Why is East Cobb Christian School moving to Continuous Enrollment?

Continuous Enrollment reflects our covenant relationship with parents with the expectation that the relationship will continue with the child and parents through graduation from East Cobb Christian School.  Additionally, this will reduce the amount of paperwork that parents need to complete and streamline our administrative process, which will better serve our community.  Continuous Enrollment is the standard used by most private and Christian schools in the area.

Steps for Continuous Enrollment:

There will be a Continuous Enrollment Contract Acknowledgment to complete for each child in their 2024-2025 Re-Enrollment Packets.  This will acknowledge that you were informed by ECCS that Continuous Enrollment Contracts will begin from January 2025 and moving forward.

There will no longer be a Re-Enrollment period for the 2025-2026 School Year and going forward.  There will be Required Student Forms that will be completed each year by February 1st:  Tuition plan selection, Photo Consent, Family Commitment, and Doctrinal Statement.  

Is a deposit required?

There will no longer be a re-enrollment fee.  All families are required to provide a deposit (to be determined) per student enrolled which will be billed and drafted by FACTS Tuition Management account at the beginning of February 2025.  This deposit goes toward your annual tuition.  It is not refunded if a student is withdrawn after February 1st for the following year.   

With a Continuous Enrollment Contract, you are considered enrolled for the next year unless you complete a Change of Enrollment Form by February 1st.  If a student is withdrawn at any point after February 1st for the next year, a Change of Enrollment Form must be completed and a withdrawal fee equal to one quarter of the annual tuition is due and payable.  Extenuating circumstances may be appealed in writing to the School Ministry Team.

I am enrolling more than one child.  Does each child have a Continuous Enrollment Contract?

Yes, you will complete a Continuous Enrollment Contract one time for each child. This Continuous Enrollment Contract will be a separate form that will be completed in January 2025.

I am planning on keeping my child(ren) at ECCS through 8th grade, but what if my plans change?

If your situation changes, and your child(ren) won't be attending ECCS for the upcoming school year, you will need to complete a Change of Enrollment Form starting in January 2025.

If I have received a Tuition Assistance Scholarship in the past or am applying for Tuition Assistance, how will the Continuous Enrollment Contract Work?

Tuition Assistance/Scholarship Applications must be completed yearly and are due by early February.  Families will have 10 days from the date of notification of the tuition assistance offer to decline the offer and complete a Change of Enrollment Form without penalty.
