K.I.D.S. "Kicking in for the Development of
Students" is a tuition-reduction incentive program established to
assist both present and future ACS families by giving them the
opportunity to accumulate tuition credit. Through this program bulk
quantities of gift certificates are purchased from various grocery
stores, retail stores and restaurants. These certificates are then sold
to participating families at face value with the discount passed on in
the form of a tuition credit.
One percent of the discount is retained by the school for
operating costs and general tuition assistance. The discount that is
passed to participants varies from 1% to 17% of the total amount of
certificates ordered, depending on the vendor.
The amount of
credit you have accumulated for the year is designated on a sticker on
the front of your envelope. This accumulated amount is deducted from
your March tuition amount. Relatives and neighbors may also order
through the school and request that their credits be posted to your
account.
How to Enroll
To join the program, call the school office and request a start-up packet.
Drop Off/Pick Up Schedule
Orders can be turned in to the office at any time but are processed on Wednesdays. The certificates are available for pick-up after 11:00 a.m. on Wednesdays, one week after the order is placed.
