Tuition & Affordability

Laurel is committed to enrolling academically qualified students with a wide range of financial circumstances. This is why Laurel School is proud to offer Variable Tuition, whereby tuition rates are customized according to each family’s ability to contribute to their educational expenses.
Variable Tuition is offered to families with students from Grades K-12. There are many factors that are taken into consideration for qualifying families. Laurel evaluates a family's ability to pay, including such factors as family size, number of children attending schools that charge tuition, and assets/liabilities that are not reflected in household income.

How to Apply for Variable Tuition

The application for admission and the application for Variable Tuition are separate but simultaneous. The application for admission is due January 27, 2023 and the Variable Tuition application window runs from September 1, 2022 through January 27, 2023. Applications may be submitted on a rolling basis after January 27, but space and Variable Tuition may be limited.
