2026–2027 School Year
Non-refundable Fees:
Tuition covers the school’s operating costs. Parents or guardians must sign a tuition contract each spring to re-enroll their student for the upcoming school year.
The tuition contract is binding and includes:
All tuition payments are processed electronically. You may use a checking account, savings account, or credit card.
If tuition is 30 days or more overdue, the student may not continue attending classes.
What is the Step-Up Scholarship?
The Step-Up Scholarship provides vital financial support by covering a portion of tuition costs for students in the Unique Ability program and the Personalized Education Plan (PEP).
This scholarship ensures students can access specialized educational opportunities without financial burdens, allowing them to focus on learning and personal development in a supportive environment.
Program Duration
Peter’s Academy offers three tuition tiers based on the level of support each student needs.
