Student Accident Insurance

The Academy offers a school-year accident insurance plan at a minimal cost for all enrolled students.

There is no limit to the number of accident claims that can be filed during the academic year for each student, and each claim may cover up to a maximum of $1,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Financial Obligations

In order for the Academy to provide its exceptional educational opportunities to all students, we depend upon our families remaining current with all tuition and incidental balances owed. If an amount becomes delinquent the Academy will do one of or a combination of the following:

  • Withhold semester grades;
  • Withhold final grades for graduating seniors;
  • Withhold transcripts for graduating seniors;
  • Withhold enrollment contracts for students returning for the upcoming school year and;
  • Withhold student class schedules for the upcoming academic school year.

Additionally, for any balances that are delinquent 31 days past their original due date and exceed $30, the Academy will charge a one-time $30 late fee at each occurrence of delinquency to your FACTS account, up to an annual maximum of $500.

Tuition Refund Insurance

Albuquerque Academy has made arrangements with Dewar Tuition Refund Plan to help protect the interests of our families in the event of a student’s withdrawal. In the event that a tuition-refund insurance claim is filed, the insurance will cover, on a pro-rated basis, the family’s remaining obligation to the Academy for the current school year, following the student’s withdrawal or dismissal. The Academy’s Business Office can provide an estimate of how much the insurance will cover and the amount of the remaining family obligation to the Academy.

Levels of coverage are:

  • Medical absences or withdrawals that last more than four consecutive days may be covered at 75% (certain restrictions apply, refer to additional detail in the brochure);
  • Mental health conditions that require a student to withdraw for more than four consecutive days may be covered at 75% (certain restrictions apply, refer to additional detail in the brochure);
  • Non-medical withdrawals that occur after a student has attended more than fourteen consecutive calendar days, beginning with the student’s first day of attendance in the current academic year, may be covered at 75%;
  • Dismissals that occur after a student has attended more than 14 consecutive calendar days, beginning with the student’s first day of attendance in the current academic year, are covered at 75%.

This plan is available at a cost of $190.43 for the 2021-22 academic school year. For a complete description of tuition refund insurance, click here to view the brochure.
