Affording an Independent School Tuition

St. Anne’s allocates over $1.8 million in funds to offset tuition costs and to provide special services to eligible children when necessary.

We know that independent school tuition is a meaningful, long-term commitment. At St. Anne’s, we’re deeply committed to making this journey accessible to all families, regardless of financial circumstances. Our tuition assistance program reflects our belief in a vibrant, diverse community—economically and otherwise—with over 20% of families receiving support each year.

Awards are based entirely on a family’s demonstrated financial need, using the information submitted through the application process. All applications are handled with the utmost confidentiality and reviewed individually. Because we’re committed to fostering a broad socioeconomic community, families across a range of financial situations may qualify for assistance.

To ensure support reaches those who need it, families must submit an application each year, following the established procedures and deadlines, and demonstrating continued eligibility.
