Tuition & Financial Assistance

An Advent education is an investment in your child's future.

At The Advent School, we are proud of our long-standing commitment to making an Advent education accessible to families from a wide range of backgrounds.

We believe that every child deserves a high-quality education, no matter their circumstances, because the elementary years lay the foundation for success in middle school, college, and beyond.

In our Reggio-inspired classrooms, children are encouraged to explore, question, and collaborate, learning from both their teachers and one another. A diverse and inclusive community enriches this experience, and we know children thrive when they are surrounded by classmates with different perspectives and experiences.

At Advent, we warmly welcome all children to grow, learn, and discover together.

Advent’s 2026-27 Tuition rate is $39,500 for pre-K (ECC) and Kindergarten, and $41,500 for First through Sixth Grade

Tuition Includes:

  • Full-day enrollment (M – Th: 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.; F: 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.)

  • Books and classroom materials

  • Chromebook

  • Field trips (including overnight trips for Fifth and Sixth Grades)

Tuition Financial Assistance

The School awards tuition financial assistance (TFA) in the form of grants to provide all students the opportunity to attend Advent. We encourage all families to apply for tuition assistance if there is a question of affordability. Currently, 35% of Advent families receive financial assistance.

TFA is determined by the difference between what a family can afford to pay, as calculated by the proprietary formula used by Clarity Tuition – our trusted third-party application provider – and the estimated total cost of attendance.

The TFA application deadline for new and returning families is Friday, February 12, 2027.

Please contact Jeff Morgan, Director of Finance and Operations, to learn more about applying for financial assistance.
