Tuition Rate for 2023-2024 Returning Students

14/6/2023

Levando em consideração as necessidades projetadas da escola, o Board aprovou um aumento nas mensalidades de aproximadamente ...
São Paulo, June 14, 2023

Dear PACA Parents,                                                                                          

Pan American Christian Academy (PACA) bases its annual tuition adjustments on projected costs for the upcoming academic year. This process takes place in the second semester of each academic year and considers various factors, with the main one being the expected inflationary adjustment, along with administrative projections of revenue, expenses, and educational investments.

We operate on a fiscal year from July 1 to June 30. Every year, the Board of Trustees evaluates the effects of ongoing significant inflation, exchange rate losses in the current academic year, additional expenses for schoolwide improvement initiatives, and enrollment projections for the following school year. Consequently, the Board has approved a tuition increase of 10%.

While striving to ensure that PACA remains an accessible option for all students, the Board also has a fiduciary responsibility to uphold the quality of education, facilitate improvement, and sustain the opportunity for generations of families in São Paulo to enroll their children. Therefore, the following tuition schedule will be implemented for the 2023-2024 school year.

The fee structure mentioned above is the result of extensive discussions held in 2023, as we strive to maintain a delicate balance between two important objectives: (1) ensuring the school's financial stability and (2) recognizing and appreciating the substantial investments made by PACA families in their children's education. We are actively working towards increasing enrollment and securing external funding to facilitate facility improvements and recruit dedicated educators who align with PACA's distinct philosophy. Throughout this process, we remain focused on PACA's God-given mission: nourishing hearts, developing minds, and educating for eternity.

PACA is committed to your child’s wholeness, achievement, and good stewardship while preparing them to make an impact on the world. We realize this requires excellence of each PACA employee (Ecclesiastes 9:10 and II Timothy 2:15).

Grateful for your trust in PACA for your child(ren)’s education,

John Nelson
Superintendent

São Paulo, 14 de junho de 2022

Senhores Pais,                                                                                       


A Pan American Christian Academy (PACA) baseia seus ajustes anuais de mensalidades nos custos projetados para o próximo ano letivo. Esse processo ocorre no segundo semestre de cada ano acadêmico e leva em consideração diversos fatores, sendo o principal deles o ajuste esperado devido à inflação assim como projeções administrativas de receita e despesas e investimentos educacionais.

Operamos com um ano fiscal de 1º de julho a 30 de junho. Todos os anos, em março, o Conselho avalia os efeitos da inflação, perdas cambiais no ano letivo atual, despesas adicionais para iniciativas de melhoria em toda a escola e projeções de matrículas para o próximo ano letivo. Como resultado, o Conselho aprovou um aumento de 10% nas mensalidades.

Ao mesmo tempo em que se esforça para garantir que a PACA continue sendo uma opção acessível para todos os alunos, o Conselho também tem a responsabilidade fiduciária de garantir a qualidade da educação, facilitar melhorias e manter a oportunidade para gerações de famílias em São Paulo matricularem seus filhos. Portanto, a seguinte tabela de mensalidades será implementada para o ano letivo de 2023-2024.

A estrutura de taxas mencionada acima é o resultado de extensas discussões realizadas em 2023, enquanto nos esforçamos para manter um delicado equilíbrio entre dois objetivos importantes: (1) garantir a estabilidade financeira da escola e (2) reconhecer e valorizar os investimentos significativos feitos pelas famílias da PACA na educação de seus filhos. Estamos trabalhando ativamente para aumentar as matrículas e obter financiamento externo para facilitar melhorias nas instalações e recrutar educadores dedicados que estejam alinhados com a filosofia única da PACA. Ao longo desse processo, permanecemos focados na missão divina da PACA: nutrir corações, desenvolver mentes, educar para a eternidade.

A PACA está comprometida com a integridade, realização e boa administração de seu filho enquanto o prepara para impactar o mundo. Sabemos que isto requer excelência de cada funcionário da escola. (Eclesiastes 9:10 e II Timóteo 2:15).

Agradecemos por sua confiança na PACA para a educação de seu(s) filho(s),

Atenciosamente,

John Nelson
Superintendente
