Most schools make you call to learn the price. Here is ours, and the easiest way to pay it.
No card fees — for you or the school. This opens our secure payment page, where you confirm your plan and enter your card or bank details. Your payment then runs on that same day each month, so you are never late. It continues until you stop it, and you can change or cancel anytime from your account.

How the $600 works. The textbook and materials fee is $600 for the year, and the $300 you pay with the application is the first half of it, not a separate deposit. The balance is due by winter break in December. New families also pay the one-time $225 application fee. If paying it another way suits your family better, call the office, we work with people.
Paying by check or at the office? Tuition is due on the first of the month and is late after the fifth. On autopay you are never late: your payment runs automatically on the same day each month, whichever day you start. No credit is given for illness or vacation during the school year, mid-August through mid-June. A 30-day written notice is required to withdraw. Closed for major holidays and one week in August. Prices effective June 2026.
Palm Valley School closed in 2026. For children transferring to us from Palm Valley, we offer a one-time $1,000 grant toward the first year of tuition. Mention it when you book a tour and we will apply it.
