Tuition, Fees, and Financial Assistance

2024-2025 TUITION, FEES, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Your child’s education is one of the most important investments you will ever make. And, for most families, investing in an independent school education requires careful financial consideration.

At Nashoba Brooks, we believe elementary and middle school education provides an essential foundation for our students as learners and as leaders. Children who develop a love for learning in their early years will continue to find joy in learning throughout their lives.

While the costs associated with providing outstanding educational opportunities for your child can be substantial, the many benefits—exceptional teachers, small classes, differentiated instruction, and support in the pursuit of personal excellence through academics, athletics, and the arts—are invaluable.

In an effort to make a Nashoba Brooks educational experience more accessible, our Board of Trustees adopted the reVision Tuition Plan to reduce tuition each year for three years, starting in 2021-22, while sustaining our longstanding commitment to providing financial assistance to qualified families. As you consider both the value of and investment in a Nashoba Brooks education, you will also see our commitment to making costs transparent, sustainable, and affordable for families.

TUITION AND FEES Tuition at Nashoba Brooks School, including grade-level mandatory fees, provides for all costs associated with delivering a high quality, child-centered academic program.

It also covers the costs associated with school lunch (Grades TK-8), books, day and overnight field trips, athletic team expenses for all interscholastic sports, grade appropriate oneto-one technology, in-school activities, school supplies, student accident insurance, and tuition refund insurance. Optional transportation and before-and after-school programs are noted separately, recognizing that each family’s circumstances are unique.

TUITION PAYMENT PLANS Families may choose one of three payment plans. Families who select Plan A agree to pay the full tuition in one payment, due by June 30, before the school year begins. Families who choose Plan B pay tuition in three payments (50% by June 30; 25% by October 30; and 25% by January 30), and families who select Plan C pay tuition in 10 equal payments (May 1 through February 1). There are no additional fees associated with the selection of Plans B or C.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Nashoba Brooks School strives to build and maintain a community where diversity in all its forms is supported and celebrated, and where students are enrolled based on their individual strengths and not on their families’ financial circumstances. We encourage families to apply for financial assistance if they are unable to afford full tuition on a 10-month payment schedule. All financial assistance awards are based upon a family’s demonstrated need, as assessed through Clarity, a financial assistance application system. Awards vary depending upon demonstrated need and the amount of money available in the School’s financial assistance budget. Additionally, the financial assistance committee recognizes the costs of our extended day and supervised study programs. The determined grant percentage for tuition will automatically be applied to the cost of these auxiliary programs. Roughly 22% of our students receive need-based financial assistance.

PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT FOR NASHOBA BROOKS At Nashoba Brooks School, as at other competitive independent schools and colleges, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of providing a quality education. We rely on additional sources of revenue and fundraising to ensure continued excellence in academics, athletics, arts, leadership, interdisciplinary studies, digital citizenship, social emotional learning, and more. Your contribution to the Nashoba Brooks Fund makes our shared commitment to excellence possible. Annual tax-deductible gifts directly support and enhance innovative educational opportunities for students, professional development, and the competitive salaries needed to attract and retain outstanding teachers.

We ask that 100% of our current families support the Nashoba Brooks Fund. Beyond the Nashoba Brooks Fund, we may ask families to consider contributions to building projects, facilities enhancements, endowments, and special events such as The Campaign for Our Future. Parents are invited to support fundraising programs at the giving level that is right for their families.
