Introduction to Non-Resident Tuition Student Program

Thank you for your interest in the Falmouth Public Schools! Our hope is that this program will allow students from surrounding areas to have other excellent educational options available to them, and as well our students can benefit by welcoming regional students and their families to this school community. We welcome non-resident tuition students through an application process. This opportunity will be administered following policy JFABC - Admission of Privately Placed, Non-Resident Tuition Students. 

In summary, the Admissions Committee, which consists of the Superintendent, resident counseling staff, and the resident principal, will review all applications. The first determination will be enrollment projections for resident students. Next, applicants will be reviewed for their match with Falmouth Public Schools' programs and, with written consent from the parent on the application form, a consultation with the resident school principal or counseling staff. The Superintendent has final discretion regarding all non-resident tuition student placements. 

Falmouth Public Schools will accept non-resident private tuition students by application only. The application can be found here. Once an application is preliminarily reviewed for space availability and a consultation with the resident school principal or counseling staff has occurred, parents will be notified with one of three responses: 

a. Space is available and a contract will be offered; 

b. Space may be available but enrollment of resident students needs to be monitored over the summer until two weeks before the opening of school when final notification will occur; or

c. It is clear that space will not be available at the requested grade level for the school year and the application will be denied

 Applications received during the school year will be given similar consideration.
