Tuition & Financial Aid
A Renbrook education is an investment. Like at all independent schools, our families pay an annual tuition fee to give their children the gift of a transformative educational experience. To make our program as accessible as possible, we maintain tuition rates that are competitive with other area independent schools, and we offer multiple payment plan options, including one that bills monthly from May to April. The tuition and fees listed below cover all areas of our program, including field trips, classroom books and supplies, athletic and music equipment, a laptop for use in our Lower and Upper Schools, and a wonderful daily lunch for Grades 1-8.

In our efforts to make a Renbrook education a reality for as many families as possible, we have a need-based financial aid program in Grades K-8. Our budget for this program allows us to offer awards to qualifying families that cover up to 70% of all tuition and fees. We use Clarity, a financial aid application platform popular in independent schools, to help us determine these awards annually. The Clarity application is user friendly and allows families to share their full financial picture with us and have it automatically verified by the IRS. Applications for financial aid open in October and are due December 1 for returning families. Prospective families interested in applying for financial aid are encouraged to apply in our First Round of admission, which has due dates in December. Prospective families applying for financial aid in our Second Round or later should contact our Director of Enrollment Management and Financial Aid to find out if there is any financial aid remaining at your child’s grade level.
To get started, please read through the frequently asked questions below and log on to Clarity to complete an application today.

"Renbrook teaches life skills that prepare students for the next level. First of all, they learn inclusiveness. We live in a diverse society and the kids learn to deal with others from different backgrounds. They learn to care for each other and work hard. Renbrook teaches students to be resilient by encouraging them to never give up. If a student comes up against a problem or an issue, they are taught how to work through it. I chose Renbrook because I thought that the teachers have the same goals as the parents; they want to develop each child to his/her maximum potential."

"I am convinced that early education is the most important time for kids to decide that they love to learn. When you have attention at an early age in school, learning becomes something joyful rather than something that is monotonous and boring. That's what happens when you have a small class size and you have the kind of experiential learning that takes place at Renbrook."
