At Sussex School, tuition supports exceptional educational programs, enables us to attract and retain talented faculty and staff, and sustains a vibrant campus designed to enrich every learner's experience. Our goal is to make the transformative Sussex education accessible to as many families as possible, preparing students for their next adventure with confidence and purpose.
​
We believe in the value of fair tuition to fund the many opportunities Sussex offers. At the same time, we are committed to ensuring that tuition is not a barrier for families. Through our Tuition Assistance Program, we work closely with applicants to provide awards that help make a Sussex education attainable. Sussex School's tuition assistance and scholarships can help reduce tuition by up to 75% for some families.
​
Tuition at Sussex School varies by grade level and is adjusted based on tuition assistance awards. Each winter, the Board of Directors reviews and votes on tuition increases to address rising costs. These updates take effect for the upcoming school year and are finalized before re-enrollment begins.
