Tuition is not prorated for absences. Tuition is only prorated for students whose first day of school is after the school’s first day of the current school year. If a student joins the school after the academic year has already begun, the Business Office will prorate the remaining annual tuition and materials fee. There will be no proration of other applicable fees.

The proration of tuition and materials fees is based on the ratio of remaining teaching days in the academic year to the total teaching days in the academic year. No consideration will be given for possible future inclement weather days. These amounts will be divided by the remaining payment due dates in the academic year, the first business day of each month.

Tuition rates cover all regular classroom activities, all supplies*, and, if applicable, most field trips. The annual materials fee is per student, and it is not prorated or discounted. The fee is non-refundable, non-transferable, and due by July 1, 2024. This fee is paid in the same way as described above in “Nine Tuition Installments.”

Tuition must be received by Pinecrest School by the first day of each month. A $50 late fee is charged if tuition payment is not received on or by the third day of the month. An additional $50 will be assessed after payment is 30 days late. If more than two tuition installments are late during the school year, the Board of Directors Finance Committee shall, at its discretion, require tuition installments to be made more than one month in advance. There will be a $25 charge for any returned or disputed online payments. Should more than two payments be returned during the school year, the Board of Directors Finance Committee shall, at its discretion, require payments to be made in cash, money order, cashier, or certified check.

At Pinecrest School, we aim to keep tuition fees accessible. We also understand that for some families, the cost may still be prohibitive. We believe that finances shouldn’t hinder a child’s opportunity to join our school community, which is why we offer Financial Aid.

To determine Financial Aid amounts, we utilize a third-party platform to ensure objectivity. Please note that Financial Aid is only available for students in Kindergarten through 6th grade as per school policy.

All Financial Aid applications are treated with the utmost confidentiality, and families must reapply annually.

If you’re considering applying for Financial Aid, please let us know at the beginning of the admission process. We recommend requesting information and an application for Financial Aid as soon as you receive confirmation of your application to Pinecrest School.

We are grateful for our current, past, and future Military families at Pinecrest School. We partner with Military assistance fee programs such as Child Care Aware & Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN).
