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 offers need-based grants to families on a yearly basis. 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:


  1. Gather your most recent tax return documents. The information contained within them will be necessary to complete the financial aid application.

  2. Submit your application as early as possible. 

  3. Please note that only one application is necessary for multiple children in the same family. Families with multiple households, however, will each need to fill out a separate application form. This includes parents that are divorced, separated, or not married.

  4.  Financial aid applications must be resubmitted annually. Families will be notified of award status in May for the upcoming school year.


In addition to need-based grants, we offer tuition payment plans.

Tuition may be paid bi-annually (in August and January), in ten monthly installments beginning in July, or weekly beginning in August. Tuition may be paid in-full by August 1 for a $100 discount.


If you have any questions please contact our Business Manager, Jennifer Rutherford.
