Tuition and Fees for 2016-17 School Year PHS  strives  to  provide  a  quality   education  for  its  students  by   keeping  class  sizes  small  and  by   hiring  the  most  qualified  staff   available.  Maintaining  high   standards  is  costly,  and  as  the  

school  grows  it   needs  to  offer  more   competitive  wages  to  maintain   and  attract  teachers.  As  it  is,   PHS  teachers  earn  about  30%   less  than  public  school  teachers   here  in  the  territory.  Next  year,   the  school  will  begin  lessening   this  gap  by  raising  teacher   wages  15%.  For  this  reason,   Pacific  Horizons  School’s  Board   of  Directors  has  voted  to   increase  tuition  by  $10  per   month  per  student  and  has   voted  to  increase  the  one-­‐time   annual  registration  fee  by  $50   per  student  for  the  2016-­‐2017   school  year.   Grades  K3-­‐8:  $310  per  month   for  10  months   High  School:  $335  per  month   for  10  months   Additional  Sibling:  $270  per   month   Annual  (one  time)  Registration   Fee:  $250  per  student   Annual  (one  time)  Supply  Fee:   $50  per  student
