Tuition Payment
Tuition Payment Information
Dear Parent,
To make tuition and fee payments easier, Sterling Academy uses a secure third-party platform called TUIO. You can pay using:
We cover all transaction fees — so there’s no extra cost to you.
| TUIO Term | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Enrollment | A single charge (like tuition, enrollment fee, or elective surcharge). You may see multiple “enrollments” even if your child is only in one course. |
| Invoice | Monthly tuition is listed as an invoice. The system shows future invoices as $0.00 until the Finance Office updates them monthly (e.g., September’s tuition invoice will be set at the end of August). |
Currently, TUIO doesn’t support automatic monthly subscriptions the way we use them. Instead:
Don’t worry — payments will still be deducted automatically once you add your payment method.
You may also pay using Zelle:
Prefer to use PayPal? We can send your invoice(s) directly through PayPal, and you can pay from your PayPal account.
Just let us know if you'd like to use this option!
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. For questions, you can contact FINANCE OFFICE at finance@sterling.academy or you can contact REGISTRATION OFFICE at registration@sterling.academy

What is TUIO?
TUIO is a billing and payment app used by schools, preschools and daycare centers across North America.
Using TUIO provides the following benefits to families:
â—ŹAccess payment information at any time
â—ŹAuto-billing
â—ŹEmailed invoice notifications and payment reminders to avoid NSFs
Where will my data be stored?
Please note that TUIO does not store any sensitive financial information, such as your bank account or credit card details. Instead, those data points are encrypted as soon as you enter them, and they are transmitted to the large financial institutions who run payments. For the data points that TUIO does store to let you access your TUIO account, such as your email address and TUIO password, TUIO works with the industry leader AWS (Amazon Web Services), which is Amazon’s branch for server infrastructure. AWS offers the most secure cloud infrastructure on the market and is used by hundreds of government agencies such as the CIA, and many Fortune 500 companies such as Netflix and Kellogg’s.
