Tuition and financial aid

Every child deserves access to an excellent education.

As part of our founding philosophy and mission, Geneva School is committed to providing education that nourishes the mind, soul, and heart of all students, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

The Geneva School of Manhattan occupies a unique position in the world of Manhattan independent schools, both in its stated purpose and its pricing.

From the beginning, our founders desired that Geneva School be as inclusive as possible for Christian families from all backgrounds and income levels. This has placed us in territory all its own, out of step with the commanding rate of elite Independent  schools while offering a top-level education taught by world-class teachers.

With these twin commitments to affordability and generosity, Geneva School boasts one of the most diverse student populations in Manhattan, a diversity that is reflected in our geographic reach, parent profession, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity. This full-bodied diversity is made possible through generous financial aid of the Scholarship Fund, for which we fundraise every year.

To learn more about our founding mission, philosophy, and tuition model, we encourage you to reach out to our Admissions team or attend a virtual information session, offered regularly throughout the school year.

Tuition

Tuition and fees at The Geneva School of Manhattan range from $20,000 in Preschool to $34,000 in Upper School.

Financial Aid

Our financial aid program assists families to the extent of our annual financial aid budget. After our admissions committee accepts an applicant to Geneva School, financial aid awards are made based on a family’s demonstrated need and the availability of funds. Financial aid is available for qualifying students in Junior Kindergarten and above.

As with many independent schools, we enlist TADS to help us gather the necessary information we require. Final award decisions are made by our financial aid committee and are distributed according to our budget for financial aid. Notification of awards will be sent in conjunction with our enrollment decision letter. We encourage those in need of financial aid to begin the process as early as possible.

Submission of requests for financial aid begins by completing the TADS financial aid application. Financial aid applications are available beginning September 15, 2023, and must be submitted by December 1, 2023. Funds may be limited if applications are submitted after the deadline. Questions may be addressed to the TADS toll-free help line at 800.477.8237.
