  • Discounts & Payment Plans

    We offer several discounts on full tuition to families that pre-pay tuition in full or have multiple children enrolled simultaneously.

    • Returning families - payment is due by March 10, 2024
    • New families - payment is due on the 10th of the month after enrollment
    Two Payment Discount (only available until May 15)

    • First payment due — June 10, 2024
    • Second payment due — August 10, 2024
    Multi-Child Discount
    Families paying more than one full tuition in grades 1-12 are eligible for the following tuition reduction:
    • 5% off second full tuition;
    • 20% off third full tuition;
    • 35% off fourth full tuition;
    • 50% off fifth full tuition.
    Note: Order of tuition is determined by student age from oldest to youngest, (i.e., 'first' tuition is based on your oldest child, 'second' tuition is your second oldest, etc.). The reduction percentage is calculated based on the Pre-Payment Discount tuition amount and is applied equally over the payment period you select. Multi-Child discounts may not be used toward the deposits.

    Our monthly payment plan does not offer a discount on tuition, but it does allow you to spread your tuition payment over the academic year without paying interest.
