The Pennfield School Launches Making It Possible Initiative

Pennfield Resets Tuition for 2020-2021 School Year

The Pennfield School is pleased to announce the launch of Making It Possible, a new initiative aimed at making a high-quality Pennfield education possible for more families. The school’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to approve the initiative, which will reset tuition rates for the 2020-21 school year. “At a time when educational costs are continuing to rise, we’re proud to be responsive to the needs of our community by making Pennfield more accessible, and by being a leader in addressing this need,” says Ted Karousos, Chair of the Board of Trustees. This exciting initiative will also kick off the school’s 50th anniversary celebration next year.

We’ve reset tuition so you can rethink the possibilities.

As an increasing number of independent schools across the country are re-evaluating their pricing models, The Pennfield School is helping to lead the way here in Rhode Island. “We understand that enrollment often requires a financial sacrifice, but we are optimistic that this initiative will enable more families to rethink the possibility of a Pennfield education,” says Rob Kelley, Head of School.
