Individual Family Tuition
Our approach to tuition is based on the belief that a family’s financial commitment to education should be in equitable proportion to its financial resources. Therefore, we invite all families to consider themselves participants in our Individual Family Tuition (IFT) program.
Individual Family Tuition (IFT) allows families from a broad range of economic circumstances to make a individualized financial commitment to their children’s education at The Berkeley School.
Families provide financial information to the school through an online third party application in order to determine a tuition level that is right for their family.
Families may, instead, choose to pay the stated tution for their grade level. Families are notified of tuition when they receive their offer of admission.
2022-2023 Annual Tuition Rate
| Preschool | $25,400 | K-5 | $32,000 |
| Middle School | $34,400 | ||
How to Participate
Submit a Parents’ Financial Statement through our online partners at School and Student Services (SSS) beginning October 1, 2022.
You will need your 2021 tax returns and estimates for 2022 to complete this process.
All parenting adults, including those who are separated, divorced, non-custodial, or unmarried must be included in the PFS.
How Does This Work?
The Parents’ Financial Statement is the basis for determining a family’s tuition level, taking into account the overall number of program participants.
Helpful Hints
Adhering to deadlines is mandatory.
If you’re not able to provide the information and documentation necessary to complete your application by the deadline, you should discuss your situation with Lamar Johnson to determine if an accommodation can be made.
Only one Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) is required for multiple TBS children.
