Tuition Program for Non-Resident Students (grades K-12)

Thank you for your interest in the Pitman Public Schools’ K-12 Tuition Program. The Pitman Public Schools accept qualified non-resident students on a tuition basis in grades kindergarten through high school, provided that an appropriate program and adequate class space are available.

We welcome students and families who seek a true community, where students feel safe and supported to take on new challenges, both in and out of the classroom. We are small in size, but big in opportunities, which include:

• Award-winning arts program
• Competitive athletics
• Co-curricular activities

Students entering high school have the option to customize an exceptional learning experience through our Jr./Sr. High Academies in Business/Finance Leadership, STEAM, and Performing Arts; a range of courses for all levels, including Advanced Placement; and options to earn college credit through dual enrollment.

How to Apply

As part of the admission and tuition procedures, we request that you schedule an interview with Mr. Ryan Caltabiano, Director of Curriculum/Instruction, at 856-589-2145.  Prior to meeting with Mr. Caltabiano, please forward the following information and documentation to ewarren@pitman.k12.nj.us :

• The completed application form
• Copies of your child’s school report cards or teacher evaluations from their present school;
• Copies of your child’s standardized and/or state test scores (PARCC, etc.), if available.

Arrangements for a visitation to the appropriate school will be subsequently planned. A decision regarding enrollment as a regular tuition student will be forthcoming following the completion of this process.

Again, please find the Non-Resident Tuition Student Procedures and Application above.

The rates for the 2025/2026 school year reflect our goal to make a high-quality education available to non-resident students:

Elementary Grades K-6      $3,850

Junior High Grades 7-8      $4,200

Senior High Grades 9-12   $2,450

For more information on registration, please contact the Pitman Board of Education Office at 856-589-2145.

We hope that the educational opportunities available through the Pitman School District might provide your child with the learning foundation and environment you desire. Our schools foster immense pride throughout our community, and we look forward to demonstrating why our Pitman Panther Pride is so strong.

Sincerely yours, 

Dr. Robert Preston
