Standard tuition does not meet the full cost of educating the student. Fundraising supplements the difference between the standard tuition and actual tuition costs. Families are expected to participate to the best of their ability in our major fundraisers: Auction, Holiday Market, and Annual Giving Campaign.

Corporate tuition rates primarily apply to international transfer families.
