Choosing an Independent School education can be one of the most important investments a parent or guardian makes for their child’s future, but we know the cost can be daunting.

​

We don’t want our tuition rates to be a barrier for any family seeking to join our learning community. 

 

Our admissions and finance team is committed to working with families to adjust tuition rates and make progressive education accessible for their child(ren). 

​

High Meadow offers a range of programs for financial assistance, including financial aid, scholarships, work exchange, sibling/multiple child discounts, and tuition remission for HMS employees. 

​

For detailed information on financial assistance criteria, programs, and application instructions, please to consult the school’s Overview of the HMS Financial Assistance Program, updated for the 2025-2026 school year.

​

One-third of our student body are recipients of some form of financial assistance.

 

Our school offers financial assistance from nursery through 8th grade, and each package is tailored to a family’s unique income, asset holdings, and expenses. Financial Aid awards are grants, not loans, and do not need to be repaid. Other forms of financial assistance are accounted for differently, but none require repayment.

​

Financial assistance packages are adjusted each year to account for increases in tuition costs so that HMS can remain an affordable option year over year.

​

We want your investment in High Meadow to be sustainable over the long-term, for the benefit of the family, the child, and the school community.

 

High Meadow is committed to cultivating belonging, access, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and financial assistance is a crucial part of that.

​

Educating children in a community that mirrors the diversity of our local and global worlds is a component at the heart of High Meadow’s progressive mission, and our financial assistance programs are in place to help families from all socioeconomic backgrounds access the welcoming, engaging, and nurturing school environment that all children deserve.
