While this device remains the property of Shortridge Academy while the student is enrolled at Shortridge, it becomes property of the student/family upon graduation / departure.

Student Account:  All families establish an activity account to fund student allowances and activities. Expenses for postage and shipping, sundries, clothing, musical equipment and supplies, and other personal items are deducted as they are incurred. Families are billed each month to replenish this account until graduation, when the remaining balance is refunded as part of the final account settlement.

Individual Variable Student Costs: When students travel off campus for optional or extended field trips or for personal occasions (e.g. special medical care, airport, bus station, etc) charges for transportation and needed supervision are provided at an additional charge.  Additionally, on-line courses supplementing the Shortridge Academy curriculum, individual academic tutoring, psychological, and academic testing, SAT Prep Courses, etc, are billed separately. These typically run between $300 – $500 per month.
