Tuition and Fees
Our commitment to diversity rests firmly upon a unique and remarkable tuition system. The school’s Family Commitment Plan, which determines a student’s tuition, derives from the principle that a family’s financial commitment should be in equitable proportion to its financial resources.
We believe that all families are part of a community jointly engaged in the education of their children. Thus, our tuition policy seeks to eliminate the categories of “financial aid” and “full tuition” families.
How is Each Child’s Tuition Calculated?
All families submit a confidential Family Financial Worksheet (FFW) to the Director annually. Student fees are then set on a sliding scale with a maximum fee, graduated by age level.
A Family Financial Worksheet provides the basis for determining a tuition contract. All families complete one when applying and annually thereafter. The Family Financial Commitment Plan is at the core of our commitment to economic diversity. It replaces set tuitions and scholarships/financial aid with a Contracted Fee calculated for each family on a sliding scale in equitable proportion to families’ financial resources. Please note that the Financial Worksheet is due January 15, 2013.
