Continuous Enrollment

Continuous Enrollment Information 

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 does East Cobb Christian School operate on 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.

What is the Enrollment Notification Period:

The Enrollment Notification Period is from Monday, January 5, 2026 through Monday, February 2, 2026 for the following 2026-2027 school year.

With a Continuous Enrollment Contract, you are considered enrolled for the next year unless you complete a Change of Enrollment Form by February 2, 2026.  If a student is withdrawn at any point after February 2nd for the next year, a Change of Enrollment Form must be completed and a withdrawal fee equal to one quarter of the annual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. 

During the Enrollment Notification Period, there will be required Student Forms in your child's ECCS Student Packet that must be completed.  These forms include the Tuition Plan Selection, Photo Consent, Family Commitment, and Doctrinal Statement.  

Is a deposit required?

All families are required to provide a tuition deposit (to be determined) per student enrolled that is paid upon submission of each ECCS Student Packet. This deposit goes toward your annual tuition.  It is not refunded if a student is withdrawn after February 2, 2026 for the following year.   

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.

If I have received a Tuition Assistance Scholarship in the past or am applying for Tuition Assistance, how does 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.
