Methods of Payment

If your Blackbaud account becomes past due after the first month, a notice will be sent. The payment is due within seven days after receipt of the notice. If payment is not possible, an appointment with the Principal is necessary to discuss the situation.
Tuition Refund Policy
The obligation to pay the tuition fee is unconditional. All fees are non-refundable. Any family who withdraws a child from the school for any reason is responsible for tuition costs according to the following plan:
- 1. One fourth of the total tuition cost will be charged to the family for withdrawal between Aug 1st and the end of the first marking period.
- 2. One half of the total tuition cost will be charged to the family for withdrawal between Aug 1st and the end of the second quarter.
- 3. Three quarters of the total tuition cost will be charged to families for withdrawal between Aug 1st and the end of the third quarter.
- 4. 100 % of the total tuition will be charged to families who withdraw after the third quarter.
Fundraising
Each family must contribute $500 annually through fundraising efforts to help offset the difference between tuition and the actual cost of educating a student at PMA (approximately $10,450 per pupil) Families that do not raise the full $500 during the school year, will be billed in May 2027 for the remaining balance. Families may choose to pay a $500 buy-out in place of designated fundraisers. PMA relies heavily on fundraising activities to offset the difference between what we charge parents for tuition and the actual cost of educating one child at PMA. The buy-out option is a fair and equitable practice for all families and guarantees a steady source of income for the school.
Fundraising choices:
Fall 2026: Walkathon (25% profit towards buy-out)
December 2026: Christmas Lottery Calendars (25% profit towards buy-out)
Sept 2026-May 2027: Hannaford/Shaw's Gift Cards (5% profit towards buy-out)
Sept 2026-May 2027*: RaiseRight Gift Card Program (2-16% profit towards buy-out) *Online e-certificates purchased after May 16, 2026 and through the summer, will receive credit towards your fundraising fee in the 2026-27 school year.
Example: By participating in the RaiseRight Gift Card Program, a family can raise over $500 to meet their fundraising obligation to the school. A family that spends an average of $1,000 per month at Hannaford using gift cards will earn $50 each month toward the $500 annual requirement.
Throughout the year, PMA also hosts additional fundraising events such as parent group activities, dress down days, and the annual auction gala. While these events do not count toward the fundraising obligation, participation by all families is crucial to helping offset the $10,450 per pupil cost of your child's education at PMA.
