Affordability
If you've assumed private schools were out of reach or that applying for aid was too cumbersome, you might be surprised by how affordable a Principia education can be. Every family has different financial abilities and obligations, and we work hard to ensure that every qualified student can enroll. In fact, 94 percent of Principia School families receive financial aid grants. (That’s money that doesn’t need to be repaid.)
What will my family pay?
Your financial aid package will be unique, tailored to your family’s situation. Our grants typically cover 80% of tuition and fees. Submitting a short financial aid application is all that's required, and our Financial Aid Office always proceeds on a case-by-case basis.
How can Principia provide such generous aid?
Hundreds of alumni and friends believe in our approach to excellence and Christian Science-based character education. Their generous gifts to Principia make it possible for qualified students to attend each year supported by scholarships and need-based aid. For the 2016–2017 school year, Principia awarded over $6.7 million in tuition assistance.
