Tuition Assistance
Financial Assistance 2020-2021 School Year:
The Clariden School is proud to offer financial assistance to qualifying students. We are a non-profit, private school which means we do not receive funding from the State or Federal government. While our tuition is competitively priced, we recognize that the cost of a private education can be a barrier to some families. This program is designed to help bridge the gap for families to enable a robust and economically diverse student population. We adhere to federal, state, and local laws that require non-discriminatory practice in the administration of our school’s financial assistance policies.
Need-based financial aid is available. Please contact the admissions office for details.
