TUITION NEWS

Dear Parents:

 

As we approach the holiday season, we are finalizing some of our plans for the 2010-11 school year to ensure that we continue to move forward in the content and quality of our programs.  One of our primary goals this year is to improve the business side of PCA to provide for greater efficiencies so we can concentrate our available human and financial resources on our primary mission of education while still providing great service to our families.  Two areas we've reviewed and made significant changes in are our tuition management and tuition aid assessment.  Tuition aid assessment changes are covered in detail in the Tuition Aid Assessment section of this newsletter and the changes will affect all those seeking tuition aid for the 2010-11 school year.  This letter will focus on tuition management changes for the 2010-11 school year and will affect everyone enrolling for next school year.  Tuition management has been primarily managed by Nancy Palavicini, our Registrar, for 20 years with no other dedicated PCA staff.  During that time, we have grown from 345 students to 865 students. The goal of our review was to make tuition management function as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible with the least financial impact to our families.

After much research and investigation into this area, we have chosen to partner with FACTS Management Company to carry out the tuition management function for the 2010-11 school year.  FACTS is a long time affiliate of ACSI, our accrediting association.  Their tuition management programs are used by over 4,000 schools nationally, including many schools in our area such as First Baptist Academy of Dallas, Prestonwood Christian, Fort Worth Christian, Southwest Christian, Oakridge, and many others.

Frequently Asked Questions about FACTS Tuition Management

 

/files/FACTS Tuition/FAQ girl.jpg

 

·         What is the biblical basis for the decision to use FACTS?

Scripture instructs us to be faithful in stewardship and in the way in which we handle our finances.  FACTS helps us to do this by reducing our overhead costs.

·         What are my options for payment methods?

There are two options for payment:

1.     Automatic bank draft (ACH) - ACH payments are those payments you have authorized FACTS to process directly from your financial institution electronically.  It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have preapproved for your PCA expenses.  Payments may be made from either your checking or savings account.

2.     Credit Card - Paying with your credit card gives you the option of taking advantage of various bonus programs offered by your credit card company.  Your monthly payment will be automatically charged to the credit card you designate.  

·         Is the FACTS enrollment fee a monthly fee?  Is the fee the same for all plans?

The FACTS enrollment fee is an annual fee of $46 for the monthly payment plan and $20 for the annual and semi-annual payment plans.   This fee is per family, not per student.

Returning Families

Currently there is limited funding for the aid program; however, we do feel called to minister to families that do not have the finances available to attend at full tuition, so we work diligently to do what we can within our limited resources.
