Flexible Tuition

If your child would thrive at Emerson, the cost of tuition should not be the deciding factor as to whether or not they attend. Each family has different financial needs, some greater than others, and flexible tuition means that the cost of attending Emerson is relative to your family’s unique situation.

2024-2025 Tuition Rates

  • Young Fives: $18,832
  • Kindergarten: $21,203
  • Grades 1–5: $25,678
  • Grades 6–8: $27,748

How Flexible Tuition is Determined

Families seeking flexible tuition at Emerson complete the Clarity Financial Aid application, a service that evaluates income and expenses. Emerson’s Financial Aid Committee then carefully reviews each case, and about 20% of families receive adjusted tuition. The school allocates nearly $1 million each year to support families through this program.

To apply, submit the Clarity application ($50 fee). Fee waivers are available upon request at admission@emerson-school.org. Applications can be submitted before completing an admissions application, with a priority deadline at the end of December for first-round consideration. Tuition Refund Insurance is also available to help protect against unforeseen changes such as relocation, job loss, or illness.
