Tuition
AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL
As an independent school, Renaissance does not receive funding from local, state, or federal governments, and relies on tuition from enrolled families along with charitable giving from those who support our mission. Tuition covers roughly 70% of the School’s annual operating expenses. The Board of Directors makes every effort to keep tuition as low as feasible, and the School’s tuition has consistently been less than that of other independent high schools in the region. When evaluated alongside our excellent faculty/student ratio as well as our seniors’ track record of earning extraordinary scholarship offers, Renaissance tuition represents an outstanding value.
Tuition for Academic Year 2010-2011 $ 13,000
TUITION ASSISTANCE:
Renaissance School offers tuition assistance for families with a demonstrated need. The School’s efforts to be generous with assistance are balanced by its mission to maintain financial solvency and meet operating expenses. Availability of funds is determined by the Board of Directors and the Financial Manager. Consistent with national standards for independent schools, tuition assistance shall not exceed 20% of the School’s total income from tuition.
Funds are available on a first come/first serve basis and families who wish to apply for assistance should do so as soon as possible after deciding to apply. Application should be made through FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. Families who wish to arrange a payment plan other than lump sum payment should also apply through FACTS. Click on the following link.
