How tuition and aid work

No figure here: the school gives its numbers in person, so you never read an old one.

  • Tuition is set by the year and by the stage a child is in. Before and after care are billed apart, by the month, for the days a family uses. The school's figures are on the admissions page and are given at every visit.

    • One class in each grade

    • Before and after care are billed apart

    • Figures given at the visit

  • Registration

    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.

    • Application: when a family applies

    • Enrollment: when an offer is accepted

  • Holding a place

    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 is full, the office keeps a waitlist and calls families in the order they joined.

    • Signed agreement and first payment

    • Waitlist by order of joining

  • Billing

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

    • By the year, term or month

    • Autopay through the family portal

  • Financial aid is available; here is how to apply. After you submit an application, the office sends an aid form. A small committee reads each form and answers in the same week as admissions decisions. Ask the office about Ohio's scholarship programs for families who may qualify.

    • An aid form follows the application

    • Decisions come with admissions decisions

    • Ask us about state programs

  • Siblings

    A second child, or a third, is handled differently, and the office will explain how when you apply. Brothers and sisters are read in the same admissions season so a family hears about everyone at once.

  • Withdrawing

    Families give written notice, and the office asks for it before the end of the term. What happens to a term in progress is set out in the enrollment agreement, which you may read at any time before you sign.
