    Palma students will need to have or purchase an iPad. They will also need to purchase textbooks (visit our online booklist for links to pricing), locks for their lockers  and PE clothes. Locks need to be purchased at Palma because the locks sold have a master key so our Dean of Students may assist students who forgot their password.

    Tuition Discounts

    SIBLINGS
    There is a $500 tuition discount for each sibling of a student enrolled at full tuition. If you have questions, please contact Mr. George Garibay.

    MILITARY
    We appreciate and honor your service by offering sons of active duty military personnel a 15% tuition discount. Siblings of an enrolled student will receive $500 off the regular tuition rate.

    Tuition Assistance

    Palma works with families on a confidential basis to ensure that qualified students have the opportunity to attend our school. A limited amount of tuition assistance is available to families with demonstrated need. There are no athletic scholarships at Palma School.

    Tuition assistance is based on a family’s ability to pay as determined by Independent School Management Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) and a review of the family’s financial records. Applications are submitted online through FAST along with the family’s most recent federal and state tax W-2 forms and other documents requested by the school and FAST. FAST charges a fee for this service. Tuition assistance is applied against tuition expenses for a given year and requires a new application each year. Tuition assistance is not intended to cover 100% of the cost of attending Palma School. All families are expected to contribute to the cost of their son’s education.

    Submit your application online through FAST no later than February 1st. Notification of decisions for qualified families will be provided by the end of February. Families who submit incomplete or late applications risk not receiving tuition assistance.

    Mindful of our primary mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, Palma School admits students of any race, color, national and/or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to the students at the school. Palma School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and/or ethnic origin, nor age in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. While Palma School does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not be available. Likewise, Palma School does not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of gender, age, disability, race, color, and national and/or ethnic origin. Palma School reserves the right to be a sole judge of merit, competence and qualifications, and can favor Catholic applicants and co-workers in all employment decisions, especially in those positions that have direct bearing upon the pastoral activity of the Church.
