Presbyterian Pan American School strives
to keep the cost of tuition, room and board at an affordable cost. Gifts
from Presbyterian governing bodies, congregations, church members, and
foundations help to cover part of the operating costs. The fee for tuition,
room and board includes instruction, books, learning aids, room and meals
while school is in session during the academic year. Also included is
a student group accident insurance plan.
Tuition Deposit
All applicants accepted for admission are required to pay a nonrefundable
tuition deposit equivalent to 15% of the tuition. This deposit reserves
a room for the applicant as well as a place in the entering class. It
is due upon receipt of the enrollment contract. The remaining balance
must be paid according to one of the payment plans.
Payment Plans
Plan A: Payment of the tuition balance plus any additional fees on the day of
registration.
Plan B: Payment of the tuition balance
and additional fees in two installments. The first installment must be
paid on the day of registration. The second installment is due at the
beginning of the second semester in January.
Plan C: Payment of the tuition balance and additional fees in eight installments. First
installment is due upon registration. The remaining seven payment installments
are due on the 15th of each subsequent month through April.
Billing
Statements for tuition, and room and board,
as well as fees for appliance usage, prescriptions, etc. are sent to the
parents periodically for collection. Payment is due and payable in the
school's business office upon receipt of the statement. Interest is charged
on unpaid balances.

learning aids, and noon meals Monday through Friday while school is in session
