Tuition & Assistance
Making School Affordable
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.
If you are interested in learning more, we encourage you to reach out to the Office of Admission or our Chief Financial & Operating Officer Theresa Foy.
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 offers a number of flexible payment schedules through Blackbaud Tuition Management. Tuition may be paid annually, semi-annually, or structured over ten months with automatic deductions from a checking account or credit card.
529 Plans
The IRS permits up to a $10,000 annual distribution, per beneficiary, from 529 accounts to finance private school education (K-12). Please consult your financial advisor for details.
