The school gives its figures in person, so you never read an old one.
Tuition is set by the grade band and covers the three school days, the plan for the two home days and the weekly check-in with a teacher. It is set by the year. The school's figures are on the admissions page and are given at every visit.

A family pays an application fee when it applies, which covers reading the application and meeting the child. After an offer there is an enrollment fee that holds the place. Both are listed with their purpose in the program matrix below.
Application: when a family applies
Enrollment: when an offer is accepted
A place is held when the family signs the enrollment agreement and makes the first payment, which goes toward tuition. Families have until early April to answer an offer. If a grade band is full, the office keeps a waitlist and calls families in the order they joined.

Families choose to pay by the year, by the term or by the month. Monthly payments run by autopay, and the office will go over the schedule with you at enrollment.

Financial aid is available. Here is how to apply: ask for the aid form with the application, and the head of school and a small committee read each request. Families hear about aid at the same time as the admissions decision. Ask us about state programs at a visit.

A second child in the same family is handled differently from the first. The office explains how at the visit, and the enrollment agreement says it in writing.
