Tuition and Financial Aid Structure

Making a commitment to an Oakwood education is an investment in your child's future. Like other independent schools, Oakwood charges an annual tuition. This fee supports faculty and staff salaries, academic and co-curricular programs, and the maintenance of the school's educational facilities. As with most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating each student. Oakwood relies upon generous donors and auxiliary income from special programs to support the education that we provide.

Oakwood Friends School has a long-standing commitment to enrolling an economically diverse student body. To help achieve this goal, we offer over $650,000 each year in need-based financial aid to over 35% of our student body. We also help families apply for loans to help cover the cost of tuition. Many families meet expenses through a combination of out-of-pocket tuition payments, financial aid grants, and loans. Different strategies may be appropriate for different families. Our Admissions Office and Business Office are available to help with these decisions.
