Registration
Re-enrollment Process (for all returning students):
The NSBA office will automatically re-enroll all current students unless a parent/guardian has already notified the NSBA office that their child will not be returning to NSBA.
- The NSBA office will email all parents/guardians and notify them of the opportunity for re-enrollment on February 9, 2025.
- Parents/Guardians will have until February 21 to reenroll their students.
- The reenrollment fee of $50 will be charged by NSBA.
- Upon completing your financial contract, FACTS will charge a fee of either $55 or $25 depending on the payment plan you select. The only way to avoid this fee is to pay the year of tuition in full (upon which NSBA will cover the cost of the fee for you).
- Note: Classroom space is limited, and current families have right of refusal through February 16, 2025, for their child’s current spot in the class. Beginning February 24, 2025, vacant student spots will be made available to new families.
