Affording All Saints'

Currently, one in four students receive some sort of support to attend All Saints'.

All Saints’ Board of Trustees is committed to creating a school community that is truly inclusive, diverse, and accessible to a wide range of families. To help ensure that we fully embrace this pledge, All Saints’ Episcopal Day School has adopted an Indexed Tuition model.

The Indexed Tuition model sets each student’s tuition based on its family’s unique circumstances and financial resources. In adopting this approach each family pays tuition in an equitable manner commensurate with their available resources. While every family is expected to contribute to the cost of tuition, the School does not expect that all families are able to afford the top of the tuition range.

Indexed Tuition Scenarios

The chart below illustrates what a family could reasonably expect to contribute in a typical household with primarily W-2 income, and without any significant unusual circumstances. The Family Tuition Contribution column represents total contribution for all students combined. These are general guidelines and do not guarantee qualification in any way.

Household Income Range	% Of Household Income	Family Tuition Contribution
Up to $100,000	3% to 8%	$3,000–$8,000
$100,000–$150,000	8% to 9%	$8,000–$13,500
$150,000–$200,000	9% to 11%	$13,500–$22,000
$200,000–$275,000	11% to 14%	$22,000–$38,500

Because of varying financial circumstances, families often demonstrate differing abilities to pay full tuition. These cases highlight some scenarios where Indexed Tuition may be awarded:

Family # 1

A family of three with two working parents. Their only child is applying for kindergarten. The total annual household income is $167,000. They have recently purchased a home and have very few liquid assets and modest retirement savings. They have significant college education debt with a high annual repayment schedule.

Tuition for Kindergarten: $21,730

Total Family Contribution: $10,000

Family #2

A family of five is applying to fifth, third, and first grades. Both parents are employed and have a combined total annual household income of $290,000. They have very little debt and modest assets outside of their retirement accounts. The family has a small amount of unusual expenses related to the support of an elderly grandparent.

Tuition for First Grade: $21,730
Tuition for Third Grade: $21,730
Tuition for Fifth Grade: $21,730

Total Family Contribution: $44,000

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply for Indexed Tuition?

When do I apply for Indexed Tuition?

How is Indexed Tuition calculated?

What if I have multiple children at different tuition-charging schools?

Will applying for Indexed Tuition affect my child's chances of being admitted?

No. The application process for admission and Indexed Tuition run concurrently but separately. We will inform you separately as to whether your child is admissible and if you qualify for an adjusted tuition amount. Because we strive to balance Indexed Tuition over a range of income levels, grades, and other factors, we may not be able to offer a place to every student who qualifies for both admission and Indexed Tuition.

If I don't qualify for Indexed Tuition this year, may I apply later?

I have never applied for Indexed Tuition before at an independent school. Do you have any tips or advice?

The Clarity site has many tools and resources available to families applying for Indexed Tuition. We encourage you to take advantage of these resources. For questions directly related to the application process through Clarity, please contact them directly.

Indexed Tuition Guiding Principles

All Saints’ admission decisions are need-blind. The application processes for admission and Indexed Tuition run concurrently but separately.
Indexed Tuition is available for pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students.
The School first offers Indexed Tuition to returning families who continue to qualify, then to current families not previously receiving Indexed Tuition, and lastly to new families joining the school community.
Indexed Tuition eligibility is reviewed annually on the basis of the family’s current financial status.
To be considered for Indexed Tuition, each family must complete and submit an application through Clarity.
If a child’s parents are separated or divorced, All Saints’ expects both parents to participate in the Indexed Tuition process. It is the responsibility of the separated or divorced parents to coordinate the submission of the Parents’ Financial Statement for each household. If either parent has remarried, the School will also consider the income and assets of the stepparent, always keeping in mind the obligation of that stepparent to his or her own children.
