Tuition Fees
It is fair and reasonable to expect each family to contribute financially to their child's education, and many families pay the full cost of tuition. It is important to note that full tuition only covers 75% of what it costs to educate a student. This means that families paying full tuition are receiving a 25% subsidy that is covered through fundraising and proceeds of our endowment. We do this because we care about offering high value and making an Applewild education possible for as many students as we can.
Through Financial Aid, families can apply for reduced tuition for Kindergarten to 9th grade students based on their specific financial picture. Families who receive Financial Aid may pay anywhere from 40% to 90% of full tuition. Learn about Financial Aid.
