Westover is committed to enrolling a talented and diverse student body representing a broad range of backgrounds- racial, ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic.
We recognize that not all families interested in Westover School may be able to afford the full cost of tuition. Financial assistance is available in the form of need-based aid and payment plans. Please note that Westover cannot guarantee funding to all applicants who qualify.
Please take some time to familiarize yourself with our policies and procedures below. Should you have any questions, please contact Emily Slomski, Financial Aid Coordinator.
SMART TUITION Account - Westover uses Smart Tuition to administer its tuition billing. Every family is required to have a Smart Tuition account. No additional tuition charges will be added to your tuition account during the course of the school year. Information regarding your Smart Tuition account will be sent to you electronically once your enrollment agreement is accepted by Westover School. See below for tuition refund insurance coverage billed through the tuition account.
My Kids Spending Account (MKS) Our Student Debit Account - All other charges, any course fees, and incidental expenses will be billed through your student debit account. This includes school store and snack bar purchases,

If a family decides to opt out of paying the TRP, they must sign and return our Waiver of Tuition Refund Plan form with their enrollment contracts.

Payments can be made via e-check or credit card through Smart Tuition online, over the phone or by mail, and can be set up as automatic electronic debit through your checking account or credit card. All families will be set up to receive emailed invoices. Payments can also be sent directly to the School by check or wire.

These special programs consist of vacation support through travel programs offered during school breaks, organizing host families for interested students, and funding student-overnight trips. Tuition includes SEVIS management which supports students with the issuance and maintenance of I-20 forms as well as maintaining their F-1 visa status.

Health Insurance
The Tuition Refund Plan (TRP)
The fee is calculated as 2.2 percent of net tuition cost (tuition less financial aid) and is required for both the Two Payment and 10 Payment Plans (for single payment plan, enrollment in the TRP is optional, but families are strongly urged to take advantage of the TRP). Please note that this is a change from past policies. TRP will partially reimburse tuition (prepaid and due) in the event of absence or separation, after 14 days from the first day of classes, according to the terms described in the TRP enclosed brochure.
Textbooks
Westover asks families to purchase textbooks online at MBS Direct (mbsdirect.net). The MBS site opens in early August, and families are provided a list of textbooks to purchase for their child/children’s courses prior to the start of school. There are sometimes instances where textbooks may not be available through MBS and/or the teacher prefers to customize a book to use in class. These situations are handled by our Academic Office and will be billed to the student’s debit account when applicable. Estimated cost of textbooks is $800
