The school’s goal is to support as many families as possible, and all financial aid is based on need.

Starting in December, the Financial Aid Committee meets to review financial aid files on a first-come, first-served basis. Families will be notified to log onto mySCH to view their child's online Financial Aid Award letter. 

New applicants for admission and financial aid may receive early notification if both their admissions and financial aid files are completed by the end of December.

Yes, the school offers a convenient and safe online method to set up an installment payment plan through FACTS Management Company. Payments can be spread over 12 to 9 months, quarterly, or semi-annually. Electronic Debit (ACH) and Credit Cards are accepted.

Parents may now use money saved in a 529 plan to pay for private school tuition for kindergarten through 12th grade. Grandparents can also open a 529 account and name a grandchild as beneficiary or they can contribute to an already existing 529 account. Please consult with your tax accountant for annual limits and further details.

A small reserve fund is set aside for unexpected financial changes. Families may appeal to the Financial Aid Committee in writing.
