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. 26% of the student body receives financial aid, which totals more than $6 million.

What Tuition Covers

  • Required academic trips
  • Meals

    We will communicate financial aid decisions with your admission notification. 

    Financial Aid applications must be submitted through our partner Clarity Tuition. Based on the financial information your family provides, Clarity will recommend what family 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.
