Financial Assistance
We offer an Indexed Tuition Program
You will be welcomed at the Birch School!
If your family is committed to the philosophy and values of The Birch School we want to find ways for your children to be able attend. Because of that, we are now offering a personalized tuition through an Indexed Tuition Program. If you choose to participate the tuition and fees will be set based on your family’s income and expenses, determined through a financial application process administered by a third-party. This service provides the school with a report of your financial need. You could qualify for a tuition discount of up to 30%, depending on your individual situation, and the amount of aid available.
How to Apply
If you choose to apply for financial assistance, you will be required to submit income verification to a third party. Our top end tuition for 2024-2025 is $12,900 per student plus fees. Families who qualify for the most assistance offered may have tuition fees discounted up to 30% from the base fee, depending on the amount of aid available for distribution. If something changes in your financial situation and you require a decrease in tuition, you will need to re-apply. This financial assistance is a grant and is not required to be paid back.
We appreciate all support and encourage all families to assist in school fundraising efforts so that our community can offer this flexible tuition program. We value diversity and all are welcome.
