A Welcome from Dominion's Head of School

It is my pleasure to welcome and invite you to enroll at Dominion Christian School!

As a father of four, I chose this special place as much for my children as I did for employment. I pray you will find that our teachers and staff partner well in kindling a love of God and of learning about His world - that Dominion truly is a place that helps your child reach his/her fullest potential.

We will reserve a seat for your son or daughter for one week from the date of the email you just received. At that time, your contract must be e-signed. Enrollment is fully binding for the entire school year upon signing this contract.

The process for enrolling (below) will guide you through the next steps for completion of enrollment forms and choosing a tuition payment plan.

We look forward to serving your family in the coming year. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Warmly,

Matt Mitchell

Head of School

Next Steps

Step 1: Complete the Enrollment Contract

CLICK HERE to review, complete, and sign the enrollment contract. You will need to complete this process once for each child. Important: We make commitments to staff and vendors on behalf of enrolled families, so financial commitments are binding after contracts are signed.

Step 2: FACTS Family Portal Account Set Up/Sign In

Returning families: Sign in using your existing FACTS Family Portal Account.

New families: Create a FACTS Family Portal Account.

After you sign the enrollment contract, please create a FACTS Family Portal account.

  • Visit the FACTS login page.
  • Navigate to "For Families" in the lower-left section.
  • Click "Family Portal Login"
  • Click "Create New Family Portal Account".
  • Enter our district code (DC-VA), and use the email address that you used on your application to Dominion. (You may set up separate accounts for each parent if you wish to maintain your own login). If you are unsure of the email address that you used or if you have trouble logging into your account, please contact our Director of Admissions.
  • Please note that this username is tied to your family, not to a single child. If you enroll additional children at a later date, you will see all of them in the same portal. (If you set up a student rather than a parent account, you will be unable to view the enrollment forms).

Step 3: Complete the Enrollment Packet

This process includes the submission of everything from emergency contacts to immunizations and medical forms.

Once you have logged into your FACTS Family Portal account, please click "Apply & Enroll" from the left hand menu, followed by "Enrollment/Re-Enrollment" to access enrollment forms.

  • Please complete the first three steps (Enrollee Information, Grandparents, and Tuition Plan Schedule Selection Form) within one week of signing the enrollment contract.
  • Please complete the remainder of the enrollment packet within two weeks of signing the enrollment contract. If necessary, medical forms may be submitted at a later date, to allow for time scheduling appointments.

Step 4: Review Tuition & Fees, Additional Financial Info

Dominion uses FACTS, a third-party tuition management company, to collect payments for both the tuition deposit (due at the time of enrollment) and tuition and fees for the year (payable annually, semi-annually, or monthly).

  • Returning families: The school will add your new student to your existing family payment plan.
  • New families will set up a payment plan by selecting the Tuition Plan Schedule Selection Form in the Enrollment Packet.
  • Choose your payment plan type and enter your payment information.
  • The school will add charges and credits to your account after this setup is completed. You will receive an email from FACTS once your payment plan has been finalized.
  • Review Dominion's tuition and fees to ensure that you understand the full cost of attendance. There are four different expenses that every Dominion family will incur:
    • Tuition
    • Student activity fee
    • Tuition Insurance (mandatory unless tuition is paid in full by May 31)
    • Family Legacy Fee (a one time, per-family charge that is payable in the first year of enrollment)
  • A $500 tuition deposit per student is drafted 10 days after your payment plan is finalized in FACTS. Student activity fees and tuition insurance are billed with your first payment in May. The one-time new family legacy fee is billed alongside tuition, depending upon the payment plan selected.
  • If you applied for and received tuition assistance, your account balance in FACTS may initially reflect full tuition, and your award will be applied by April 15 (before your first payment is drafted). If, after this date, your award has not been applied or you believe there is an error on your account, please contact our CFO, Karen Seager.
  • Since enrollment is fully binding for the entire school year, non-annual payers must purchase tuition insurance, which covers a portion of your remaining balance should a mid-year departure ever become necessary. This insurance is optional for people who pay in full at the beginning of school. If you pay annually and wish to purchase tuition insurance, please contact our CFO, Karen Seager.

Step 5: Preparing for your first days

  • For now, you are done! You may find it helpful to visit the current families page of our website for resource documents, such as uniform guidelines and other information. In the summer preceding your child's entry into our school, we will send you a supply list as well as a school calendar, a reminder of the dress code, and additional information you may find helpful as you prepare for the start of school. If you apply late in the enrollment season or once school has begun, we may send these items along with a welcome letter that will be mailed to you in a few days. If you have questions or need assistance throughout your transition, please do not hesitate to contact one of our offices, as follows:
