Ancora Academy is open from August 20, 2024 through May 15, 2025, excluding school holidays and inclement weather days. Annual tuition has been divided into nine equal payments to be paid out during the school year. Tuition rates will not be prorated for holidays or other absences. Payment is expected for all children enrolled whether present or not. Space is reserved for enrolled children. Thus, to hold that space, payment must be made regardless of attendance. This includes illness, holidays, inclement weather days, vacations etc. The Director must approve any exceptions. Should the school, or an individual classroom, need to close for any reason, tuition will not be refunded or reduced for closures of less than a two week period. If the closure extends beyond two weeks, tuition drafts will cease until Ancora Academy resumes. Ancora Academy reserves the right to prorate the child’s account upon return or refund the prorated tuition. The two week grace period is nonrefundable. Refunds will not be made for absences.
Our program will follow the campus location District calendar for holiday closings, with the exception of first/last day of classes and Christmas Break. During inclement weather, we follow the campus location ISD on school closings. If the ISD is closed, Ancora Academy is closed. Please follow the news stations for ISD information. We will update our Parent Portal and staff will update parents by using their most common form of communication. A detailed school calendar is posted on our website. Ancora Academy is a private facility and not required to provide inclement weather makeup days.
Scholarships/Tuition Assistance, determined by Administration and based on an individual basis, may be available to families in financial distress in exchange for service hours.
Ancora Academy does not discriminate based on race, religious affiliation, or disability in the administration of its education policies, admissions policies and/or additional programs.
