Financial Aid
Financial aid awards are need based.
A family qualifies for financial aid by submitting an application to the School and Student Services for Financial Aid (SSS) https://sss.ets.org/ which is a service of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). This service does not provide financial assistance, but does determine how much a family can afford based on their financial situation. A financial award is based on availability and need compared to other applicants.
Every family in the school will have a financial commitment to the education of their children and will be required to pay at least 10% of the tuition.
The application and award process is strictly confidential and is decided by the School's Financial Aid Committee. Factors considered include academic and attendance history, behavior, participation in extracurricular activities, and financial situation. No one on the school staff will disclose any information about those who have applied for or received financial aid. Conversely, families receiving aid must agree not to discuss it with anyone.
Application forms for financial aid are available in the school’s business office, and the reapplication process begins in mid-January.
