Student Fees

As a non-profit charter school, Baxter Academy does not receive the same supplementary funding provided to many traditional public schools. Despite this, we do our best to provide a rich school experience, often paying for some standard student services out of pocket. As a result, it is even more important that all fees assessed to students are paid promptly by families.

You can view and pay fees online with MySchoolBucks. You can also pay them in person at our Front Office with a credit card or check. Checks should be made payable to “Baxter Academy” with your student’s name and the name of the fee on the notes line on the check.
