Volunteer
Every Friday, Dana Wenig sits at a table in our community room surrounded by what might appear—to the untrained eye—to be junk: a box of tattered papers, needles and long plastic strings, and a container filled with stuff like dog tags, stopped watches, and wine corks.
“I’m just this side of a hoarder,” Dana says.
But it’s not junk. It’s art.
Dana has been hosting the art table every Friday . . .
Tuition & Fees
PSCS tuition is $15,975 for the 2012-2013 school year.
The Board of Trustees sets the tuition for the following school year every February. A non-refundable deposit is due at time the enrollment agreement is signed. This deposit is credited toward the student’s tuition. Families have the option of paying tuition in one lump sum or spreading the payments throughout the year.
Financial Aid: To the extent that our funds permit, financial aid is available to qualifying students whose parents are able to establish financial need through the financial aid application process.
PSCS uses the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment Service to conduct financial need analysis. Financial aid does NOT automatically renew each year. If you wish to receive financial assistance for the next school year, you must complete an application. All financial aid information received will be treated confidentially.
All admissions decisions are made independently of the financial aid process. The families of incoming students should apply for aid only after receiving a letter of acceptance. Typically, the maximum tuition aid award for first-year families will not exceed 50 percent.
Should I apply for financial aid? For most families, managing the cost of a private school education takes planning and effort. To the extent that they are able, families enrolled at PSCS are expected to pay for the educational expenses of their children. That said, while the amount expected from parents depends on the family’s ability to pay, each family’s circumstances are different and many other factors beyond income are taken into consideration when making financial aid awards.
There are no set guidelines that we can offer to help you decide whether to apply for financial aid, however factors may include family size and assets, how many members also paying tuition (PSCS or elsewhere), and proximity to parents’ retirement. In cases where parents are divorced, incomes from both parents and new partners are combined.
How can I get more information about applying for financial aid? If you decide to apply for financial aid, have questions, or need assistance with the application process, please contact the PSCS office by phone at 206.324.4350 or by email at pscs@pscs.org.
