Tuition & Assistance

Excellence Within Reach

We recognize that investing in an independent school education requires considerable thought and planning. 

At Green Vale we believe that a Pre-Nursery-8th Grade education is a transformative investment in your child's educational journey. As as school  we are committed in making our exceptional education accessible to qualified students through a robust financial aid program, and alternative payment plans. 


 

In addition to structuring our tuition as all-inclusive, there are a number of other avenues that we have created to help make Green Vale more accessible.

Flexible Payment Options

Green Vale is committed to working with families to make tuition manageable. Through Blackbaud Tuition Management, we offer several flexible payment options. Families may choose to pay tuition annually, semi-annually, or over ten monthly installments, with automatic payments conveniently deducted from a checking account or credit card.
 


529 Education Savings Plans

Families may use 529 education savings plans to help cover K–12 tuition expenses. For the 2025 tax year, up to $10,000 per student may be withdrawn annually for eligible expenses. Beginning in the 2026 tax year, this annual limit will increase to $20,000 per student. Families are encouraged to consult their financial advisor for guidance specific to their circumstances.
 


Tuition Insurance

We understand that tuition represents a significant investment, and unexpected events can occur. To help protect that investment, families may add tuition insurance through A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. at the time of enrollment. Tuition insurance is available for an additional monthly fee and offers peace of mind should unforeseen circumstances arise.
 


Financial Aid / Tuition Assistance

Green Vale’s Tuition Assistance program reflects our commitment to making a Green Vale education accessible to families from a wide range of financial backgrounds. Awards are based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds.

  • Tuition assistance is available for students entering Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8

  • Admission decisions are made on a need-blind basis

  • Tuition assistance awards are grants and do not need to be repaid

  • Green Vale awards more than $1.8 million in tuition assistance annually

  • Approximately 20% of Green Vale families receive some level of tuition assistance

  • Families receiving assistance must reapply and demonstrate financial need each year


How to Apply for Tuition Assistance:

Green Vale partners with Clarity to help determine a family’s level of financial need. The Clarity application considers a family’s income, assets, expenses, and debts to provide a comprehensive and equitable assessment.

To begin, families should create a Clarity account using the link provided. The application typically takes fewer than 30 minutes to complete, is mobile-friendly, and allows families to save their progress and return at any time.

A $60 fee is required to submit the application. Once completed, families may share their Clarity application with other schools that accept Clarity at no additional cost by selecting those schools from the application’s dropdown menu.


Tuition Assistance Timeline:

  • November 1 – Green Vale’s Clarity application opens for both new and returning families

  • December 15 – Deadline for all tuition assistance applications
       -  
    Applications submitted after December 15 will be reviewed on a rolling basis, subject to available funds

  • Mid-January – Families are notified of tuition assistance decisions, and awards are applied to the student’s enrollment or re-enrollment contract
