We are pleased to offer installment payment plan options which enable families to make more manageable payments spread throughout the year. We always encourage families to pay as much as possible out-of-pocket, using loans as a last resort. However, if you do need to borrow, you can minimize loan debt by combining the Monthly Payment Plan with an education loan of your choice.
