• Families with multiple children must elect the same payment plan for all children. Enrollment Fee of $500 is due at contract signing. Each new student, in entry grades PK4 to 6th, pays a one-time registration fee of $100. Please note all tuition (except tuition for PK3) must be paid in full by February 1, 2022, regardless of the date of enrollment.

• Need-based Financial Assistance is available. We encourage you to apply early. The deadline for applying for financial assistance is February 12, 2021. Please contact Ruthie Simmons at 904-353-3459 for information regarding need-based financial assistance. All requirements of the online application process (including tax filings) must be completed prior to the finalization of any award.

• Additional Costs: Charges for Riverside in the Afternoon (RITA) services, off-campus educational experiences for 5th and 6th grade, and lunches are examples of items that are not covered within tuition; for convenience, such charges will be added to your SMART Tuition account as incidental billing charges.

• By default, SMART Tuition collects payments through ACH bank draft. Payments to SMART Tuition using credit cards, separate invoicing, and/or personal checks may require a convenience fee charged and collected by SMART Tuition. SMART Tuition accepts VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Please note that no credit card, debit card, or check payments may be made in the Business Office for any school charges. All check payments must be mailed to SMART Tuition at PO BOX 11731, Newark, NJ 07101-4731 OR to SMART Tuition at PO BOX 54228, Los Angeles, CA 90054-0228. Please remember to include your SMART Family ID.

• Tuition Refund Plan: The Dewar Tuition Refund Plan is available to kindergarten through sixth grade students to insure a portion of the financial obligations associated with each enrollment contract. Please note the School requires the tuition refund plan for all K-6th grade semi-annual and ten pay payment plans. The School reserves the right to require tuition insurance for any annual account that has been historically delinquent. Due to its own contractual obligations, RPDS regrets that there is no cancellation or refund of charges for absence, withdrawal or dismissal before the end of the school year.

• Splitting Tuition/Fees: Requests to have the responsibility for the payment of all tuition/fees divided between responsible parties are honored when this split is clearly indicated on the enrollment contract AND BOTH PARTIES HAVE SIGNED an agreement noting the same percentages.

RITA Schedule & Fees

*Our 2022-2023 RITA Schedule & Fees will be available in January

The Riverside in the Afternoon program (RITA) is designed to be a relaxed environment, which provides students variety within the care offered during afterschool hours. Art, games, crafts, homework time, and outdoor play are some of the activities provided by RITA. RITA may be utilized on a “drop-in” basis; however, this is the most expensive way to participate. RPDS recommends taking advantage of the monthly plan for the RITA program. All RITA fees are added to a parent’s SMART Tuition account.

Morning Care – All Students

Morning care begins at 7 am each weekday. All children arriving prior to 7:40 am must be dropped off and signed in for morning care at the Early Learning Center. The monthly rate for morning care is $150. The drop-in rate is a $10 flat fee.

AFTERNOON ACADEMIES

Afternoon Academies provide an additional way a student can enjoy the after-school hours. Academies are coordinated to work in concert with RITA but require a separate registration and fee. This addition to our RITA Program provides over 50 enriched activities to meet student interests such as: ballet, gymnastics, karate, art, athletic activities and music lessons. Registration and payment for Afternoon Academies is accomplished by picking an academy and registering through SMART Tuition.
