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 August 1, 2025.

Pinecrest School must receive tuition by the first day of each month. The School may charge late fees on missed or untimely payments, including a $50 fee for monthly payments not received within 30 days of being due (which accrues every 30 days until payment is received) and a $40 fee for returned checks or insufficient funds. All Tuition and Fees must be paid by Parents to the School by June 30, 2026, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

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 typically available only to students enrolled in full-day programs 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).
