No figures here: the office gives its numbers in person, so you never read an old one.
Tuition is set by the year and by the grade a child is in. After care is billed apart, by the month, for the days a family uses. The school's figures are given at every visit and on the admissions page of this website.

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. Each is listed, with its purpose, in the table 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 late March to answer an offer. If a grade 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 through the school's online system, and the office goes over the schedule with you at enrollment.

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 with the admissions decisions. Ask the office about state programs for families who may qualify.

A second child, or a third, is handled differently, and the office explains how when you apply. Brothers and sisters are read in the same season so a family hears about everyone at once.
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.
Beyond tuition there are books and materials, the uniform, after care and a few field trips. Each is listed below with what it is for, and the office tells you which apply to your child's grade.
