Tuition Policy
Each year the Board of Trustees works with the school Administration to develop a balanced budget.? They consider the financial concerns of our families and the rising costs of operating today’s schools.? Their efforts allow us to offer the best possible educational programs at a cost considerably less than the cost of education in the public sector while providing just salaries for our faculty and staff.? The task is not an easy one; yet we have always been able to set priorities and find ways to achieve our common goals.
MPS has contracted with Blackbaud Tuition Management? to help us better plan how to use our financial resources and manage our tuition payment plans.? Families can choose one of four options to pay tuition:
- Full payment is due in August. This payment will be made directly to the school.? It will not be necessary to fill our Tuition Management? contract information.
- Term payments are due in August, November and February. A term payment fee applies to families choosing this option.
- Ten monthly payments starting in August and ending in May. Payments can be made on the 5th or 20th of the month.? A term payment fee applies to families choosing this option.
- Twelve monthly payments starting in August and ending in July. Payments can be made on the 5th or 20th of the month.? A term payment fee applies to families choosing this option.? This option is not available to seniors.
Tuition Management?payments can be made through a bank account or charged to a credit card.? We believe that this service is an asset to our school and our families.? Be assured that neither Tuition Management? or MPS has direct access to or any knowledge about the status of your bank accounts.? Your bank makes the payment for you directly on Tuition Management? on the day authorized by you.
