Variable Tuition
The purpose of a variable tuition program is to make an Ambleside education accessible to more families by providing reduced tuition rates based on objective measures. Variable tuition is a need-based financial aid structure, similar to those used by other private schools, colleges, and universities. Any family desiring assistance may apply.
Factors including income, family circumstances, and the cost of living are reviewed by a third party. Financial details are confidential with only "recommended family contribution" information provided to school staff. Any extenuating circumstances and the recommended contribution are then reviewed by the Variable Tuition committee. The committee makes the final tuition rate decision.
By making an Ambleside education financially possible for more families, we will have the opportunity to increase recruitment, and utilize our exceptional staff and available classroom space.
Parents are encouraged to go through the variable tuition process if they are concerned about paying the full tuition. Visit https://sssbynais.force.com and fill out the form. There is a $50 cost which is applied to application fees if you enroll.
