Tuition & Application
Deposit information
At the start of the application process, we have a one-time $50 application fee that is paid via debit or credit card online. Children who are re-enrolling each year must fill out a new form and pay the application processing fee annually.
Payment Schedule
Once a child has been extended the invitation to enroll in our school, we request the first of the 10 monthly payments ($970) as the deposit for holding that child’s spot in the Spring. Tuition payments are due on the 1st of the month beginning in August. The final tuition payment is due on April 1st.
Option of longer payment schedule?
Our tuition for the 2025 - 2026 school year for one child is $9,700 annually, paid over 10 months in equal payments. We offer a 10% discount for additional siblings in one family to help with tuition costs as well. If custom payment plan is requested, please speak with our Head of School.
