Affordability
We know that choosing to invest in an independent school takes careful consideration and thoughtful planning.
Below find our tuition rates as well as information about tuition assistance, as we believe qualified students should have the opportunity to attend St. Mark's, regardless of their financial situation.
Payment Plans
Tuition payments begin in June. Payment options include lump sum, two installments, and 10 installments. Tuition must be paid in full by March. Parents should anticipate an annual tuition increase in response to inflation and the changing costs of maintaining an excellent educational program.
Tuition Assistance
At St. Mark’s, we are committed to providing a helpful tuition assistance program. The application for tuition assistance will be available on November 1, 2025, and the deadline to apply for tuition assistance for the 2026-2027 school year is January 15, 2026. It is important that interested families apply for aid early in the admission process and complete the application process by the deadline.
All applications for tuition assistance are submitted and processed through Blackbaud Tuition Management. Access the tuition assistance application via the Blackbaud Tuition Management website. There is a $35 fee per family to file an application. Tuition assistance is only available for the cost of tuition, not the cost of our extended care programs. Looking for tips on how to apply? We have created a helpful guide for you.
