Throughout our history, Green Acres School has encouraged enrollment of an economically diverse student community. As part of that effort, our financial aid program is designed to assist families with financial need by covering a part of the cost of tuition and other expenses at the school. We encourage every family to consider applying for aid; often even a small grant will make a difference.

50% of Green Acres students currently receive financial aid.

Awards for 2020-2021 ranged from 6% to 80% of tuition.

Monthly payment plans allow you to spread your family's educational expenses over the course of the school year.

How Grants Are Awarded

The Financial Aid Committee reviews IRS forms and data from the Parents’ Financial Statement and considers all listed criteria in making individual grant decisions. The Financial Aid Committee also is guided by current Board policy in determining grant amounts. Whenever possible, families are notified about grant decisions at the same time as admission decisions to facilitate enrollment-related decision making.
