Kents Hill offers various payment plans and loan options to allow flexibility for families to invest in their children's futures.

Tuition Deposits

Kents Hill requires a NON-REFUNDABLE ENROLLMENT DEPOSIT of $3,500 for all students to reserve space for the next school year. This will be applied to the student's tuition account.

Payment Options

Kents Hill School offers three different payment options. All payment plan options are administered through Smart Tuition.

• Full Payment: One Payment of Tuition & Fees is made on or before June 30. If the payment is received in full on or before June 30, a 1% discount will be credited to the student’s My Kid’s Spending Account by the Business Office.
• Two Payments: Pay 60% of the Tuition & Fees by June 30 and pay the remaining 40% by October 30. This is a very popular option for those with seasonal incomes or for families needing more flexibility in the payment schedule.
• Monthly Payments: Families pay monthly starting in June and ending in March. Late enrollment in the plan is possible, but all payments must be completed in March.

Tuition Insurance Plan

The tuition insurance plan is mandatory for all students unless the full year’s tuition and fees are paid in full by June 30. Families paying in full by June 30 will need to complete an opt-out form provided by the Business Office to receive credit. If a student permanently leaves the school during the academic year, our tuition insurance plan provides a prorated refund of the unused tuition under certain conditions. This fee will be listed on your enrollment agreement and payable with your first payment. The fee is 3.3% of tuition and fees less financial aid.

International Student Health Insurance Plan

All students are required to have a comprehensive injury and sickness plan that is accepted by local providers. International students will be required to purchase their insurance through Kents Hill School. We will enroll students in the United HealthCare Student Resource Comprehensive Health Plan that meets these mandates of State and Federal law. It is a 10-month plan for August 15th of current year – June 15th of next year. International students will be billed for this insurance on their enrollment agreement.

Tuition and Fees

If a student leaves or is dismissed from school, the family is still responsible for the full year of tuition and fees as signed and agreed on the enrollment contract.

Financial Aid

As part of our commitment to helping qualified students and their families afford a Kents Hill education, the school offers need-based financial aid. Since the number of applications for financial aid exceeds the availability of funds, awards are made on a competitive basis to students of proven ability and achievement whose families demonstrate financial need. To be considered for financial aid, all students must have been accepted for admission or re-enrollment and must have their parent(s) or guardian(s) complete a financial aid application online at www.solutionsbysss.com. Please contact the Admissions Office or go to www.kentshill.org/admissions/your-kents-hill-school-investment. The best time to apply for financial aid is prior to December 15 for returning students and January 15 for new students. Applications received after this date are considered on a rolling basis, and funds go quickly.
