Flexible Tuition Policies

We offer discounts on Before Care or After School contracts based on financial need. 

• 10% discount for families who pay 50%-75% of maximum tuition
• 15% discount for families who pay less than 50% of maximum tuition  

Discounts will be applied after registration.

Note that drop-in fees do not qualify for a discount.

Returning families must reapply for flexible tuition each year. We strive to make tuition amounts predictable and sustainable for families year to year. That said, if a family’s ability to contribute to tuition increases, a child’s tuition may increase. If a family’s ability to pay decreases, the school will make every effort to reduce the child's tuition.

The flexible tuition committee will first meet the needs of families who have previously applied for flexible tuition. Families who have been at the school and are applying for flexible tuition for the first time must include a statement detailing the change in circumstances that precipitated their decision to apply. Families new to flexible tuition must meet the same deadlines as other families. Applications for flexible tuition from new families are considered independently of the admissions process and awarded solely on the basis of need.

Should a family choose to have a parent who is not employed (without a child under the age of five at home), the committee may include a minimum imputed income for that parent.

The Flexible Tuition Committee will take into account a family’s entire financial picture, including expected income for the year in which tuition assistance will be given. Overtime and non-guaranteed income will be considered when determining the family’s ability to pay.

Families must be up to date on their tuition payments for the current school year to receive a re-enrollment contract (and Flexible Tuition) for the following school year.

It is rare that we can offer flexible tuition to families who apply after the deadline.

Any request for review of a child’s tuition must be made in writing to the Admissions Office. Additional information may be requested from the applicant.
