Tuition and Fees

AL-HUDA SCHOOL receives no financial support from government sources and therefore depends solely on tuition, fees and charitable donations from community members. Through the help of Allah first and then through fund-raising efforts we endeavor to keep our fees as moderate as possible. We encourage parents to join our Fundraising Committee, which assists the school in fund-raising efforts.

Tuition

Refer to the Tuition Plan and Schedule for details. Please note: If your child is withdrawn early or is expelled, all paid tuition will be forfeited.

Tuition is due in full each month regardless of the number of days your child has attended school. If your child is sick and does not attend, the payment will not be dropped and no compensation will be made for time missed.

IMPORTANT: Your child's transcripts will be withheld and class spot will be withdrawn if tuition is not paid in full by the end of the school year.

Books

Students must be prepared for school upon arrival the first day of class. Parents must purchase all books and supplies by the end of the first week of school. After the first week of school, students will not be allowed to attend class without being properly prepared for class.

Fees

A non-refundable application fee is charged for each new applicant to cover the costs of the admissions process.

Non - Discrimination

AL-HUDA SCHOOL does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, national, or ethnic origin in the administration of any of its policies or programs.
