Sliding Scale Tuition

Calculating Your Contracted Fee

Instead of tuition and financial aid, a Contracted Fee is calculated for each family on a sliding scale in equitable proportion to families’ financial resources. Maximum Fees (in two tiers by age of the child) based on actual cost per child are set each year by the Board. All families are asked to submit a Worksheet when applying for admission and annually thereafter when re-enrolling. The Worksheet is used to determine each individual family’s Contracted Fee for the coming year. Although we encourage all families to complete the Worksheet, families can elect not to submit financial information by signing the Waiver on page two of the Worksheet. By signing the Waiver, families indicate that throughout their child’s years at MCS, they will pay the annual Maximum Fee.
