Tuition and Fees

2008–2009 Tuition and Fees

Our fees are composed of two parts: a tuition charge, which covers instruction costs during the regular academic day, and an additional fee which covers the annual cost of textbooks, workbooks, certain school supplies, physical education uniforms, student accident insurance, milk, school publications, and support of extensive classes in the visual and performing arts. The fees are higher in the Middle and Upper School to cover such extra items as laboratory and art supplies, uniforms for interscholastic athletics, etc.

Students who enroll at Buckley for the first time during the 2008–2009 school year will be charged an additional non-refundable $2,000 fee. This new student fee should be paid along with the commitment deposit at the time of enrollment. For new seniors only, the new student fee will be $4,000 to cover the costs of college counseling, transcript preparation and graduation.

Tuition Insurance

After June 1, parents are responsible for full payment of tuition and fees for the entire year, even if their child is withdrawn before the start of the academic year or is withdrawn, absent, suspended, or dismissed for cause during the academic year.

For this reason tuition insurance is available to parents who wish to insure their child’s annual tuition and fees. This optional policy entitles subscribers to a partial refund of tuition and fees when a student, who has attended at least 14 days, is unable to attend classes for medical reasons, a non-medical withdrawal, or dismissal. Each year, parents must indicate on the Tuition Insurance Election Form whether or not they wish to elect this coverage.
