Tuition, fees and living expenses

Tuition and fees are determined annually by the Trustees of the School, and the School agrees not to raise tuition during the academic year. 

For the 2008-2009 academic year, tuition is $25,075 and the participation fee is $3,750. The participation fee covers the multi-day orientation field trip, information technology (IT) and field trips. Each participant agrees to pay tuition and fees according to the following schedule:

  • $50.00 application fee upon submission of application

  • $750 non-refundable deposit upon signing acceptance agreement (Note - the deposit is applied toward tuition)

  • First Payment: $12,165 tuition plus $2,475 participation fee, total $14,640 due on or before September 1, 2008

  • Second Payment: $12,160 tuition plus $1,275 participation fee, total $13,435 due on or before February 1, 2009

The tuition and participation fee includes costs incurred for operation of the school, faculty, visiting lecturers, project-related printing and drafting supplies, project-related reproduction costs, course materials for the humanities curriculum, software for GIS needs, transportation costs for scheduled field trips, and lodging for the orientation trip.

Living expenses for food, housing, moderate travel, and other routine expenditures (including health insurance) vary from student to student. Some individuals may choose to live more frugally than others. Expenses beyond tuition for the 10 months average $26,500. Students with families, will of course, have additional living expenses. Estimates are derived from surveys of students at the end of each school year.
