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.
