Tuition covers the costs of providing the basic academic program for each student. It also covers teachers' salaries, essential instructional materials, maintenance and upkeep of buildings and equipment, and various support services. Tuition charges for 2008-09 are as follows:

Parents may pay tuition in one lump sum, two installments, or ten monthly payments.

Families will be billed separately for costs their children may incur in connection with certain offerings within the program (e.g., certain field or class trips, book fee for grades 6-8, and Food Service). Families of children K-8 must purchase the required uniform items.

The purpose of the financial aid program is to provide a student body that is as fully as possible representative of the community served by St. Matthew's. It is the desire of the Board of Trustees that no child whose parents are in sympathy with the aims of the school, and who is well-suited for admission, should be denied the opportunity of attendance solely because of an inability to pay the full tuition fees.

Families applying for financial aid are required to submit a confidential statement of their financial circumstances to the School and Student Service for Financial Aid no later than December 12, 2008. Late applications are considered if funds are available.

For additional information about financial aid or to obtain SSS (School and Student Service) forms, families should contact the Head of School, Les Frost.
