*The final cost of the Pre-K 3 and 4 programs may be tax-deductible. Please consult your CPA and Financial Advisor/Planner

** The cost is figured over 11 months and may vary slightly.

Special Note: With the signing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, the definition of qualifying expenses has been expanded to include tuition at elementary and secondary schools (up to $10,000 per year per student). This means that a parent may now use their 529 Plan to pay for private school for their K-12 children. It is extremely important, however, to consult with your tax professional and your investment advisor about all the risks and benefits.

Payment is rendered at the time of signing the contract. The application fee will be deducted from the enrollment fee upon completion of the enrollment contract.

Students dropping a CCTC course after the end of the drop/add period will be required to reimburse the school for the full college tuition paid on their behalf.
