TUITION AND FINANCIAL AID
Tuition for each school year is established by a vote of the Board of Directors.
There are three tuition plans that a family may elect:
Full payment by June 1
Two payments in June and November
Monthly payments plans are available through FACTS Tuition Management.
A non-refundable enrollment deposit pro-rated depending on time of admission is required.
Re-enrollment agreements for current families are sent out in February with a return date of March 1. A non–
refundable deposit equal to 10% of the total tuition, along with the signed enrollment agreement, is required to
hold a place for the fall.
Financial Aid is available. To apply for Financial Aid, families must submit an application to the School
Scholarship Services for Financial Aid and copies of their federal tax forms to Touchstone’s Financial Aid Officer.
Financial Aid application forms are available in the school office. Families must re-apply each year and the
deadline for submitting a financial aid application for the fall is March 1. Awards for current families are
announced by mid-April. All financial aid information is kept confidential and has no bearing on an applicant’s
acceptance to Touchstone.
