Starting pay is not what public or large private schools offer due to our lower tuition structure and family pool of primarily middle class incomes. Salaries at PCCS vary considerably partly due to this compressed school year of 35 weeks (less than public), courses taught, experience, degrees, and especially the particular teacher's schedule (periods per day, days per week).
