Morgan Park Academy

Tuition & Affordability

As an independent, not-for-profit organization, Morgan Park Academy is funded primarily by tuition and fees, which are used to finance operating costs such as school programs, faculty and staff salaries, and maintenance of our facilities.

We are committed to inclusion as an essential part of our educational philosophy and school culture. Economic diversity enriches the educational opportunity for all families and participation of a wide range of families is critical to the health of our school.

Accordingly, the MPA community includes some families who can afford tuition at the top of the index and also provide generous philanthropic donations; other families who make substantial sacrifices to pay tuition at the highest level; and others who are able to afford only minimal tuition. MPA families fall across the economic spectrum.

We are able to offer indexed tuition based on the school's operating budget and philanthropic gifts. In order to make an MPA education accessible to families from a wide range of economic backgrounds, we offer a range of tuition levels.

New contracts carry an additional matriculation fee of $1,000. New families must submit a 20% deposit when they sign an enrollment contract. (The deposit is calculated as 20% of the total of tuition plus matriculation fee, minus any indexed tuition award.) Returning families must submit a 10% deposit when signing an enrollment contract.
