Oldfields School

As Maryland’s first all-girls’ boarding school, we have a long history of forging opportunities for young women.

We recognize the decision to send your daughter to Oldfields is a significant investment in her future. For over 150 years, our School has believed in the power of young women and been committed to providing the Oldfields Experience to as many students as possible! Together, we can provide your daughter with this life-changing opportunity.

Oldfields School’s tuition is a comprehensive fee that includes the cost of most activities, athletics, and most academic support outside of the Academic Strategies Program (ASP). Both boarding and day students benefit from a wide variety of afterschool and weekend activities that extend their learning far beyond the classroom.

*The student health insurance fee may be waived by students who have comparable U.S.-based health insurance that provides coverage while in Maryland.

While the primary responsibility for financing a student's education rests with the family, a strong tuition financial assistance program supports Oldfields commitment to a qualified, motivated, and diverse student body. We encourage students to apply irrespective of financial need. In the current school year, $1.4 million dollars of financial aid was granted. Nearly 45% of our families receive some form of financial assistance.

To assist families in meeting the cost of an Oldfields School education, we offer need-based assistance, merit awards, and payment plans. For many families, a small financial assistance grant enables the opportunity for an Oldfields education. If you feel your daughter would benefit from the unique educational experience that we offer, please carefully review the financial assistance options, policies, and guidelines outlined below before you begin the application process.
