TUITION AND FINANCIAL AID
OUR APPROACH TO TUITION
As you have read by now, there are many unique characteristics to our school that distinguish us from the other educational options in our area. Our tuition model is yet another of these unique elements. Our goal is to provide an excellent educational experience for our students while ensuring that our school is affordable and accessible for our community, now and in the future. Our commitment to finding innovative ways to create our school extends to tuition as well.
Please know that all of our founders are parents and understand the financial and emotional challenges that children may bring to a family. Because of our nonprofit status and being solely focused on the well-being of our students, we have flexibility with how we structure tuition payments. Each family is unique and more times than not we are able to make adjustments to a family’s specific financial situation. As is the case with our entire school philosophy, one size does not fit all.

REQUIREMENTS FOR FINANCIAL AID CONSIDERATION
For new families: Your child(ren) have been accepted for enrollment to the school.
For returning families: You have submitted re-enrollment forms for your child(ren) for next year. You do not have any outstanding tuition, fees, or bookstore balances from a previous year. You are up-to-date on the current year’s tuition.
For all families: Your financial aid application is complete. Copies of appropriate documents were uploaded or mailed to SAE.
You recognize that financial aid is awarded on current assessed needs. You will need to reapply every year. If your financial situation changes, your aid award may change as well.
Please Note: An incomplete or inaccurate application may result in delays in your financial aid decision completion.
Important! No financial aid applications will be accepted without an active Application for Admissions on file. There are multiple steps to the admissions process. A student must be accepted to The SAE School prior to any financial aid decision. These are separate processes. Please click here to review the admissions process.
Prepare for your financial aid application by collecting the following documents:
your most recent Federal Form 1040, along with all accompanying schedules and your W-2s
your child’s birth certificate
report cards for students applying for 1st grade or above
any additional documents that demonstrate the family’s financial need
For students applying for the 2024-25 school year, we will need your 2023 tax documents as soon as they are available. No financial aid determination can be made without these documents.
You may also send copies of your documents by mail to the address below.

It is the opinion of the school that, regardless of the marital status of an applicant’s parents, both of the child’s natural parents share the responsibility for educating their child. Thus, wherever possible, both must comply with the filing requirements as stated above. In the case that the custodial parent has remarried, the financial situation of the stepparent will also be taken into account.
