Flexible tuition is a pricing model that adjusts the cost of tuition based on a family's financial situation. Instead of charging a fixed rate, it allows families to pay an amount they can reasonably afford. This approach supports economic diversity within a school community and takes into account unique financial circumstances that might not be reflected in traditional income-based tuition or scholarship programs.
-
Flexible tuition rates are typically based on a variety of financial factors, including:
Household Income: Total income from all sources, including wages, investments, and other earnings.
Family Size and Dependents: Number of people in the household, including children and other dependents.
Expenses and Debts: Significant expenses such as medical bills, elder care, student loans, or other debt obligations.
Assets and Savings: Savings accounts, investments, real estate (other than primary residence), and other financial assets.
Cost of Living: Regional cost of living adjustments, especially in high-cost areas.
Unique Financial Circumstances: Any extenuating situations, like job loss, medical emergencies, or other unforeseen financial challenges.
Families usually provide this information through a confidential financial aid application, which help schools assess a fair contribution amount.
-
Scholarships are available based on financial need, merit, and a commitment to our community values. We strive to make Root to Rise accessible to all families, regardless of their financial circumstances. If you believe your child would thrive in our environment, we encourage you to apply and communicate your need for assistance.
