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. 

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.
