A Significant Investment

We understand that sending a child to St. John's is a significant financial investment for a family. St. John's has established a well-funded financial aid program to support families who need assistance with tuition costs. The School will attempt to meet the demonstrated need of all students admitted to the School, subject to budget considerations. In the event that the budget considerations prevent the School from doing so, the School has established the following priority guidelines:
  • Returning students on financial aid
  • Returning students new to financial aid
  • New students requiring financial aid, with a priority towards Middle and Upper School students
  • Financial Aid applications not submitted on a timely basis
St. John's School seeks to attract qualified individuals of diverse backgrounds to its student body. Consequently, the School does not discriminate in admission or educational program versus any individual on the basis of sex, race, color, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religion, or any other category protected by federal, state, or local law.

Except in unusual cases, the School will ask all families to pay some amount towards the student's tuition. Please review our financing options.

Financial Aid Categories

Financial Aid Plus: Financial aid awards are a grant from the School and do not require repayment. If a family receives 85%-100% tuition aid, the costs of the following items will also be defrayed by the School:
  • Laptop
  • Books
  • Supplies
  • Uniforms
  • Athletic costs
  • Fees for school-sponsored trips
  • Other essential fees
Financial Aid Total: This category provides the same benefits as Financial Aid Plus along with:
  • The reasonable cost of on-campus meals
  • $100 toward out-of-pocket costs for curricular trips for students entering classes 6 and 9
  • Other necessities associated with fulfilling the St. John's School experience
We use School and Student Services (SSS) to process financial aid applications and help us make awards equitably on the basis of demonstrated need. SSS is a service of the National Association of Independent Schools.

Do I Qualify?

To help answer this question, the following Family Income Table provides a range of historical financial aid awards based on a range of family incomes. Each family's situation is unique, and the ability of a family to contribute financially is based on many factors such as, combined salary, available assets, or number of children in tuition-required schools. Consequently, this table should not be used to assume a specific financial aid award for a given family income level.
