Tuition & Financial aid 

At Compass, we believe every student deserves the chance to grow, explore, and thrive. We work hard to make our programs accessible to all families through scholarships, fundraising, and financial aid. Each application is reviewed with care, and all information is kept private.

Our goal is simple: to welcome each student and family into our community, and help them find their path to ongoing educational success.

Tuition

The tuition rate for the 2026–2027 school year is $57,900. Families are also charged an annual activity fee.

Tuition and the fee support your student’s instruction, textbooks, instructional materials, supplies, athletics, on- and off-campus activities, field trips, and two intersession trips per year.

Financial Aid

The School’s Financial Aid Committee awards grants based upon careful review of each family’s financial aid application and the recommendations of School and Student Services (SSS) by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). As a result, financial aid awards reflect each family’s unique circumstances, vary in size, and may change from year to year depending upon our financial aid resources and the financial need of applicants. All financial aid information provided by families is kept strictly confidential.

Affording a Compass education

We recognize the effort and financial commitment involved in enrolling a student at Compass. Our Board of Trustees and school staff are committed to ensuring that Compass’ specialized program is available to students and families regardless of their ability to afford the cost.
