Tuition & Affording Masters

Affording Masters

The Masters School is committed to making an exceptional education accessible to a diverse community of students.
We recognize that a Masters education is a significant investment in your child’s future, and we are dedicated to helping as many families as possible afford this educational choice. Masters has a robust financial aid budget.

24% of the student body receives financial aid, which totals more than $7.5 million.

What tuition covers

  • Required academic trips
  • Meals
  • Athletic uniforms
  • After-school homework help in the Middle School
  • Room and board for 5-day and 7-day boarding students
All parents and guardians are members of the School's Parent Association. There is no fee to join. All are encouraged to participate in the many PA-hosted activities and events during the school year. 

Other expenses

There are additional expenses that fall beyond the scope of tuition.
  • Transportation
  • Art and/or music lessons
  • College preparatory, such as application waivers and college exam costs
  • Textbooks
  • Laptops
    • All students are required to bring a laptop to school. Families participating in our financial aid program at a level of 75% or more should contact the Technology Department for information on the laptop loaner program.
Students participating in financial aid receive the same percentage of financial aid towards these costs as they do toward tuition.

    Financial Aid applications must be submitted through our partner Clarity Tuition. Based on the financial information your family provides, Clarity will recommend what families can contribute towards their educational expenses. Our Financial Aid Committee uses Clarity as a guide to help us make fair and equitable financial aid decisions. 

    Families may begin working on financial aid applications for the upcoming 2025-2026 academic year on October 1, 2024. For more information, please review our Financial Aid Policy.
