Continuous Enrollment
On average, 90% of eligible STE families return each school year. Therefore, we desire to make the re-enrollment process simple. Continuous Enrollment fosters a sense of stability and long-term commitment to the school community, ensuring that students benefit from consistent values, healthy social well-being, and strong academic standards throughout their formative years. This streamlined approach also eliminates annual paperwork and burdensome processes, making it easier for parents.
- January 1: Tuition Assistance applications may be submitted through FACTS.
- February 1: Tuition for the following academic year will be posted to the STE website.
- February 28/29: Any changes in enrollment plans must be emailed to the STE Admission Office at admissions@stesnb.org.
- March 1 – May 31: STE families that terminate the continuous enrollment contract by withdrawing their students between March 1 – May 31 will be contractually obligated to pay 50% of the following year’s tuition.
- June 1: STE families that terminate the continuous enrollment contract by withdrawing their students on or after June 1 will be contractually obligated to pay 100% of the following year’s tuition.
These dates allow the STE Administration to effectively plan for staffing, space allocation, curricular offerings, and budgeting for the following academic year.
Upon the one-time completion of the continuous enrollment contract, current students will be re-enrolled for each academic year until graduation if they have maintained satisfactory academic performance and behavior as determined by STE and have made all applicable payments.
How do I choose or change my payment plan?
Your payment plan will remain the same as the current school year's plan unless you notify the Business Office at businessoffice@stesnb.org of any changes via email before May 1st.
How do I apply for financial assistance?
Financial assistance applications for the upcoming school year will open on January 1st. To apply, please use FACTS. All applications and associated documents must be submitted by April 1st.
What if a current STE student does not re-enroll for the 2025-2026 school year by March 1?
After the re-enrollment period in February, available spaces will be offered to new applicants. These accepted applicants will have until the Houston Area Independent Schools (HAIS) Common Reply Date in late March to decide. After that date, if spaces remain, they may be offered to either new or current students. If you re-enroll after February, a new student fee will apply.
