Tuition, Affordability, and Financial Aid
We are dedicated to making a Marvelwood education accessible to as many families as possible.
Our need-based financial aid program reduces tuition costs for eligible families.
We understand that choosing an independent school is a significant investment in your child’s growth and future. Marvelwood works closely with families who demonstrate financial need to make your child’s education possible, and is transparent about the process and costs involved.
“Like all families, it is a sacrifice to make Marvelwood a reality, but it is worth every penny. It is an honor to be part of an institution that creates a positive point of inflection in the lives of so many.”

| 2026-2027 Tuition & Fees |

| Optional Classes Or Programs |
Learning Center and ESL classes are additional to our core tuition, as they are optional programs and dedicated, daily classes.

| Other Possible Costs (billed if and/or when incurred) |
|
| Payment Plans |
All families can pay their tuition in 1, 2, or 9 payments with no financing fees. The 2- or 9-payment plan requires tuition insurance; rates are set every year by our insurance company. For 2026/27, that rate is 4.25% of tuition, and excludes fees. For families receiving financial aid, fees are adjusted according to demonstrated financial need. |
| How To Apply For Financial Aid |
Marvelwood uses the Clarity Application to determine a family’s financial aid. The application asks for information on family assets, income, expenses, and debts. Once completed through Clarity, the Financial Aid committee completes a thorough review and assessment.
Check your dashboard periodically, as Marvelwood may require you to upload additional documentation. Note: Clarity provides a secure and efficient way to handle data and tax information. As part of the process, you’ll complete an IRS Form 4506-C (IVES Request for Transcript of Tax Return), granting Clarity direct access to the necessary tax documentation. |
