That’s great! But do you offer any financial aid?
We do! In fact, for the 2018-2019 school year, we awarded almost $1,000,000 in need-based financial aid. Financial aid awards are different for each family based on need. But, to give you an idea, last year’s average financial aid award was $4,038 per child. Plus, 25% of our students receive financial aid.
Financial aid is available for new and current students. The school strictly safeguards the confidentiality of all financial information supplied by the family. Families who apply for financial aid should know that both the admissions and the financial aid committees make decisions independently. Financial aid awards are based on a recommendation from an independent consulting firm (FACTS), which considers income, assets, debts, and medical and other family circumstances. Click here to apply.
