​Tuition

Annual Tuition

We never want the cost of tuition to stand in the way of a child attending Mary Meyer School. We have long offered a tuition assistance program so that a Mary Meyer School education can be available to all children, regardless of the family’s ability to pay.

  • Preschool: ​
    • The annual tuition for the 2025-26 school year is $14,500 per child.
  • Parent & Toddler Program: 
    • The six week Fall 2025 tuition is $450.

Tuition Assistance

Tuition Assistance is an inherent part of the school’s philosophy and a way to maintain the socio-economic diversity of the student body. Assistance is based on the need of the family and is offered without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation or ethnic origin. Applying for tuition assistance does not influence the decision to admit a child to the school. Please note that tuition assistance is available only to applicants to our Morning or Afternoon Program and is not available for our Parent & Toddler Program.

In order to be considered for tuition assistance at Mary Meyer School, families must complete the following steps of the tuition assistance process. Mary Meyer School offers tuition assistance to students on a need basis. TADS, a third party company assists Mary Meyer School in making tuition assistance decisions. Through their analysis, the organization provides a common base by which each family’s needs can be measured fairly and equitably. While we do ask that every family pays something for their child’s education, tuition assistance awards generally range between 10% and 99% of the annual tuition.

Tuition Assistance Process for the 2026-2027 School Year
​The following steps need to be completed by the following deadlines to be considered for tuition assistance in the 2026-27 school year.
  1. Complete and submit the tuition assistance application by January 12, 2026. Complete all parts of the application, which will be provided by TADS, our third party assessor. Before completing the form, carefully read all instructions. Any omission on the application can result in a delay in awarding tuition assistance.
  2. Submit a copy of your 2025 Federal Income Tax Return to TADS, our third party assessor by January 12, 2026. The copy of the tax return must include all schedules, W2’s and 1099’s (and any business related tax forms and returns).
  3. If all of your tuition assistance application is complete at the time of admission decisions, Mary Meyer School will notify you of your tuition assistance award. If it is not complete, we will notify you of your award once your file is complete.
