WHAT IS COVERED IN TUITION?
The tuition and fee schedule described above is intended to cover all of the costs associated with educating your child at First Presbyterian Day School. In general, tuition is the primary source of funding for faculty salaries and development, academic programs, technology, building and grounds maintenance, utilities, professional fees, and most expenses from extracurricular activities, such as athletics, band, chorus and drama. Student admission to all regular season interscholastic competition is included with the payment of tuition as well as textbooks, PE uniforms and elementary class t-shirts. Additional charges may arise from time to time depending on your child's grade, class schedule and participation in extracurricular activities. Every attempt has been made to keep these extra charges minimized.
Elementary students (grades PK-5) have frequent opportunities to participate in educational field trips with their class. Registration and transportation costs for these trips are an additional charge and range from approximately $50 to $150 for the year. Elementary students may also choose to participate in after school intramural athletic programs such as Viking Soccer League or Hoops, which carry participation fees. Details regarding these activities and anticipated charges may be retrieved from the Elementary School office or your child's classroom teacher.
Middle and Upper School students (grades 6-12) have a variety of opportunities to participate in class events, club activities or interscholastic competition. Much of the cost associated with theses activities is funded through tuition. However, some activities warrant additional charges. Class socials, admission to school dances, club dues, and athletic camps are a sampling of the kinds of activities that may warrant an additional charge beyond tuition. Certain courses may require the purchase of materials that will be owned by the student, such as a calculator or a physical education uniform. Parents are encouraged to check with their child's teachers, coaches and class club sponsors regarding any additional charges that may be expected beyond the tuition and fee schedule outlined above.
