Tuition and Financial Aid

No. Admission decisions and financial aid assessments are made independently.

The financial aid consideration begins in our 3's & 4's classes and continues through Grade 12.

Financial aid eligibility is determined annually based on a detailed assessment of the information families provide through Clarity Financial Aid. The award amount is then determined by the St. Anne’s-Belfield School Financial Aid Committee.

Financial aid is awarded based on a family's demonstrated financial need, and families should expect to contribute to their child's educational costs at the highest level possible, given their financial situation.

No. Financial awards are based on a family’s demonstrated need only.

Financial need and awards are recalculated every year, using current information. If there is little change in a family’s circumstances, one can expect that the grant that was first offered will be renewed at a similar dollar level. Bear in mind that annual tuition increases will usually be shared between the family and St. Anne’s-Belfield School.

All applications for financial aid are confidential. Only the Financial Aid Committee and the Head of School have access to the records.

In cases of divorce or separation, St. Anne’s-Belfield School requires both biological parents to apply for financial aid. 

Families who live outside of the US and do not file a US federal tax return are asked to provide equivalent documentation for their country of residence during the Clarity application process.
