Continuous Enrollment

List of 8 items.

• WHAT IS CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT?  

  • Continuous Enrollment is a common-sense approach to enrollment, which is followed by almost all colleges and is being adopted by many independent schools nationwide.
  • Rather than an opt-IN annual re-enrollment process, Continuous Enrollment is an opt-OUT process. In other words, if you are returning to Palmer Trinity after initially enrolling, you will never have to fill out another re-enrollment contract.
  • We assume that you will return unless you inform us by completing the online OPT-OUT FORM prior to 2/5/2023 for regular enrollment and prior to 2/5/2023 for Early Decision.
  • No student will be considered for re-enrollment for the succeeding academic year unless their billing account is current, and they are in good academic standing.
  • Palmer Trinity School reserves the right to withdraw acceptance and terminate the enrollment contract based on determinations made by Palmer Trinity in its sole discretion that the Student did not satisfactorily complete the school year either academically or behaviorally.

• HOW DO FAMILIES FINANCIALLY COMMIT TO RETURNING EACH YEAR?  

  • Tuition rates for the following year will be made available to parents on the School website in December.
  • The school will continue to bill parents under the same Tuition Plan unless notified in writing otherwise. Parents will have an opportunity to make changes to their plan, update emergency contact information, and make their enrollment deposit once the enrollment link is received.
  • If the Student is enrolled for the 2023-24 school year, the Director of Finance must receive a written termination notice by March 15, 2023.
  • If the student is enrolled in Early Decision, the Director of Finance must receive the written termination notice by December 20, 2022. 
  • Please note that the enrollment deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable as outlined in the enrollment contract. 

• I AM ENROLLING A NEW SIBLING OF A CURRENT STUDENT. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

  • Enrolling a sibling of a current student is the same as enrolling a new student.  Each student will have his or her own Continuous Enrollment Contract.  Please see the Admissions website page for detailed application instructions.

• HOW IS THE CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT DEPOSIT COLLECTED?

  The required enrollment deposit will be paid through the online enrollment link. Payments can be made by credit card or e-check through the enrollment link. Due dates are as follows for 2023-24; Early Decision due December 7, 2022; Re-enrollment due by January 13, 2023; and Regular Admission Enrollment due by March 8, 2023.  Unless the school receives an opt-out form for returning students prior to the enrollment due date, the deposit will be billed. 

• WHAT IF I AM BEHIND IN MY ACCOUNT?  

  • All accounts must be current in order to keep your continuous enrollment status active.
  • Need-based Financial Aid assistance (TADS) will only be awarded when accounts are current.

• I HAVE A QUESTION, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED. WHOM DO I CONTACT?  

  For additional questions, please feel free to contact to contact Jose Chao / 305-969-4205 in our Finance Office or Giovanna Arrien / 305-969-4208 in our Admission Office.

• IS THERE A PENALTY IF I OPT-OUT AND THEN DECIDE TO ENROLL LATER?

  Families who complete an online OPT-OUT FORM and later decide to enroll must contact the Admission Office for space availability. There will be no guarantee of a seat for that student.

• WHAT WILL THE TUITION BE NEXT YEAR?  

  Tuition rates for the following year will be made available to parents on the School website in December.
