Saint John's Preparatory School

Saint john’s preparatory school aspires to admit students who demonstrate academic promise, leadership, extra-curricular and community service interests, regardless of their families’ socio-economic, ethnic or religious backgrounds.

Saint John’s Prep School does not have a one size fits all tuition. Rather, we offer a range of tuition levels to match a variety of unique financial situations. We call it variable tuition. Our goal is to continue to make a Saint John’s Prep education accessible for families.

To put it simply, variable tuition is a need-based tuition assistance program. Our variable tuition program allows families to apply for reduced tuition (grades 5-12), making an education at Saint John’s Prep affordable for qualified students and their families.

Variable tuition is determined each year, for each family. These decisions are made on an annual basis and we encourage families to apply each year. We utilize a third-party provider, SmartAid, to help us evaluate a family’s ability to contribute to educational expenses.

How to apply for variable tuition

Step 1: Complete the smartaid tuition assistance application by february 1st for priority consideration.

Step 2: Provide smartaid with any requested supporting documents.

Step 3: Based on the information received from smartaid, saint john’s prep will mail you a financial aid award letter outlining the amount of aid you will receive. This award letter serves as an agreement for the upcoming school year.

A saint john’s preparatory school education is an investment in your child and their future.

We provide an all-inclusive, quality education that includes experiential learning and extracurricular activities at no additional cost to our families.

All domestic families are eligible to apply for Variable Tuition, which allows families to pay a range of tuition based on their individual circumstances. In fact, tuition for our families ranges from 40-90% of the full cost of education.
