Admissions

The school offers a financial aid program intended to help families who demonstrate financial need.  Financial aid is not available for pre-kindergarten students or international students.

Financial aid is given at the school’s discretion based on an assessment of the family’s financial need and on the availability of funds. Preference is given to families who have children already attending the school. While it is not possible to fulfill all financial aid requests, The Highlands School makes every effort to help as many families as resources allow. A student’s application for financial aid will have no bearing on a student’s application for admission. Once a student has been admitted to The Highlands School, financial aid must be applied for, determined and renewed annually on the basis of the current demonstrated financial need against the funds available.

An application for financial aid must be submitted through FACTS online.  All applications are due by January 22, 2026.  You will need your 2022 Tax Return and 2023 W2 as part of your documentation.

Discounts are available to families who have more than two children attending The Highlands School during a given academic year. The first and second child in the same family pay full tuition. The third and fourth child receive a 15% discount.  Additional children pay no tuition. When calculating tuition discounts, the children are considered in order from the highest grade to the lowest grade. Discounts do not apply to uniforms, meals, textbooks or any other fees or activities that are not included in the tuition.

All families are required to utilize FACTS for payment of tuition, fees, athletic fees and miscellaneous fees throughout the year.

Option 1

Tuition paid in full within 10 days of enrollment to receive a 4% discount. (Not applicable for international students.)

Option 2

A monthly plan that will be determined by the date of enrollment. Entire tuition payment must be fulfilled by December 31.
