2020-21 Textbook Packages

Pegasus has simplified the process of purchasing textbooks through Smart Tuition, accessible via your parent portal's Resources page on the Pegasus website. Checks may also be sent to the School, made payable to The Pegasus School, attention Monica Le.

This year, we have bundled required course materials into specified grade level textbook packages, now available for purchase. Textbooks will be new and only available to purchase as an entire package. Unfortunately, we are unable to fulfill any modifications to packaging. All purchases are non-refundable.

Textbooks will be available for students during Pegasus Prep (August 10–21) or for pick-up during Passport to Middle School (August 27). Orders that are not picked up by Passport to Middle School will be available on the First Day of School (August 31). If you have any questions regarding purchasing textbooks, please email Monica Le.
