PA+


The purpose of PA+, our Annual Fund, is to ensure the fulfillment of Pillow Academy's mission. Because of your support, Pillow Academy students are successful in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in the community.

Your patronage will make an incredible impact on Pillow Academy.  Your support helps us have excellent and well-maintained facilities, updated technology, advanced academic offerings and a multitude of other improvements that enhance our students' learning experiences.

We are excited to share our KNOWLEDGE. WISDOM. SERVICE. Capital Campaign. This $3.5 million dollar project over the next three years will be a multi-faceted campaign. The plans for this campaign are the following:

  • Student Activity Building (SAB)-Complete renovation of the interior-new serving lines, restrooms, new tables and chairs for students and teachers, flooring, lighting, and ceiling - Completed August 2022.
  • SAB-Exterior—new entrances including our new Sturdivant Center enclosed hallway that will provide a hallway to connect our SAB, Gym and Band Halll - scheduled completion in November 2022.
  • Gymnasium—Additional square footage to expand seating to 1200, enlarge gym entrances, upgrade and relocate our concession and restrooms, new bleachers, and added storage - scheduled completion in November 2022.
  • Craig Performing Arts Building—New carpet and stage curtains - scheduled completion in May 2022.
  • Traffic Lanes—Add a third lane to the main entrance of Pillow Academy (Part of the 5-year plan)

Your gift is a blessing to our school, and we ask that you prayerfully consider giving again this year.  We are honored to have your family as a part of the PA family.  Thank you.

Are tuition dollars enough?

Tuition covers the day-to-day operations of our school including teacher salaries, utilities, and curriculum needs.   Each tuition dollar is accounted for and that is why our annual fund, PA+, is so important. 100% of money raised through PA+ is used for academic and daily needs. The gifts to our PA+ and Grandparents Fund provide the extras that make PA an exceptional college prep school. The PA+ and Grandparents Annual Fund is essential to maintaining and improving the quality of education that our children experience throughout the year.
