Financial Aid
Finding the right school is an investment in your child’s future.
While we are a tuition-based school, we aim to create a community that is socioeconomically diverse. Our school awards financial aid to families on a yearly basis to make tuition more affordable. A variety of factors are considered, including family income, number of children, and other necessary expenses. If you are interested in applying for tuition assistance:
- Gather your most recent tax return documents. The information contained within them will be necessary to complete the financial aid application.
- Complete your application as early as possible. Please note the deadline for application are as follows:
- For Aug-May: Round 1 - April 15th
- For Aug-May: Round 2 - June 1st
- For January enrollments: Round 3
- Nov 1st
- You can download our Financial Aid packet
here. Only one application is necessary for multiple children in the same family. Families with multiple households should fill out a separate application forms.
- Financial aid applications are completed annually.
