I can say with certainty every class at Marvelwood taught me something and made me truly love learning for the sake of learning, but the people are what made that experience so powerful. The faculty, staff, friends, classmates, and teammates who supported me during my worst and best moments would be a foundation on which I built my life and career." - Marvelwood Alum
TUITION & FINANCIAL AID
A private school tuition is a significant investment in your child's future. We appreciate the commitment and sacrifice this requires and are transparent about the potential cost of attendance.
For families who wonder how they can afford to give their child a Marvelwood experience, we offer financial aid. As a school, we are committed to extending the benefit of a Marvelwood experience to as many students and families as possible. Approximately 33% of the student body currently receives financial aid awards.
We offer a 10% tuition discount for siblings and children, stepchildren, and grandchildren of Marvelwood alumni. This discount can supplement any financial aid awards.

STEPS TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
Marvelwood School use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
To get started, please create an account with Clarity. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly, so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.
Please remember to return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as Marvelwood may require you to upload additional documentation.
The deadline for completing the financial aid application, including relevant supplemental documents, is February 1, 2025.
If you need support completing your application, in-app support is available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at support@clarityapp.com or 206-210-3752 in English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.
We will inform you about our financial aid decision after an admission decision. To determine financial aid awards, we use the information from Clarity as a starting point and consider our school policies, practices, and available budget.
