Affordability and Financial Aid (Pre-K - 5th Grade)
In order to make our school as accessible and inclusive as possible, each year about 38% of Valley families receive need-based financial aid. The Valley School uses Clarity, a needs-based financial analysis system to establish criteria for financial aid awards. Award amounts, between 5% and 98% of tuition, are determined by The Valley School and are based on family’s needs, the aid available, and the total need in our community.
The priority deadline to apply for financial aid is February 6, and financial aid awards will be shared at the same time as admissions decisions, on March 20. Admissions and financial aid applications completed after the deadline will be considered as space and funds are available.
If you have questions about financial aid, please reach out to our Financial Aid Team at [email protected].
