5. Changing the mode of thinking PRS Goals for Tuition and Parent Ownership of contributing to a viable school model: 1) Make the highest quality education a reality for all children through affordable tuition while building tuition to a sustainable percentage of operating expenses. 2) Provide a system for parents to build a network of support within themselves and their own personal resources to raise donations to cover a percentage of operating expenses. 3) Remove the perception of lack associated with school-provided financial assistance and give parents the power to provide their children with a (out-of-this) world class education.
