FINANCIAL AID
We offer financial aid in the form of a partial tuition reduction for families in need on a first come, first served basis. Overall it amounts to 7-9% of total tuition for the school. Optimally, tuition reduction is temporary as families strive to arrange to pay the full tuition for their children. Applicants must submit a copy of their past year’s IRS tax statements and a letter of need. If financial assistance is approved, an offer will be determined by committee and communicated to the family for acceptance.
Families currently attending our school must submit applications for tuition reduction by April 1 of each calendar year to be considered. The average reduction is 20% of tuition and determined case by case.
