You may be surprised to find we do not offer discounts of any kind. That is by design. Every dollar of our tuition goes towards funding our annual operations, ensuring that our excellent, classical Christian education will be taught by the best teachers. However, even with our competitive tuition, we recognize that assistance may be necessary for certain families, especially those who wish to enroll multiple children. ​
Financial Aid
St. Philip’s Academy seeks to achieve our enrollment goals by means of robust, needs-based tuition assistance. We encourage everyone who needs assistance to apply. Furthermore, in order to better serve families, we have aligned our admissions and financial aid processes, ensuring that accepted families who make our admission deadlines will know how much aid they will be awarded before signing their tuition contract.​
