Tuition

For the 2012-13 school year:

  • Half-Day PK3: $7,500 (dismiss at 11:15 AM, $5 per day if staying until 12:00 PM)
  • Pre-K: $13,125
  • Kindergarten: $14,300
  • Grades 1-8: $16,800
  • Tuition includes the cost of day field trips

After completing the application process, the school will notify the family of the admission decision.  If a student is accepted for admission, a 10% tuition deposit is due upon signing an enrollment contract.  Families have three payment options during the school year for the remaining balance (Single Payment, Three Payments, Ten Monthly Payments).

Families are also responsible for purchasing school uniform tops through Land's End, paying for any hot lunches/milks they choose to have, paying for any before/after school care they use, buying school supplies, and overnight field trips.

Financial Aid

PFS Logo

Da Vinci Academy seeks to enroll mission-appropriate students from all backgrounds.  Each year, the school budgets to provide need-based financial aid to families who cannot afford to pay the full tuition.  To determine a family's need for financial aid, Da Vinci Academy uses School and Student Services (SSS) by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).

Please Note:
To receive first consideration for 2012-13 aid, families must complete the PFS and submit a copy of the 2011 tax return by March 16, 2012.

Families submit an online Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) to SSS, along with copies of appropriate tax and income documents.  SSS reviews the PFS to calculate what the family can afford to pay in tuition.  The SSS report assists the school's financial aid committee in determining a family's need and how much financial aid can be provided.  Aid is awarded as a grant for a one-year period.  Families requesting aid must apply each school year.

Families can apply for aid online at http://sss.nais.org. SSS has a toll-free Helpline at 800-344-8328.


The Value of a Da Vinci Education


I would not be where I am today were it not for the faith and determination the teachers at Da Vinci put in me. I felt invisible, like a ghost, in public school but was able to realize my potential at Da Vinci. Da Vinci was always so flexible, accessible, and creative; I really appreciated that.
