Primary Day is committed to enrolling qualified students from a variety of backgrounds and family income levels. Our Board of Trustees has established funds to assist families with tuition costs. We offer need-based financial aid only.
Evaluation Process
We use Clarity to assess financial aid applications. Clarity reviews each family’s financial information and provides us with an estimated contribution toward educational expenses, ensuring fair and objective decisions.
Annual Financial Aid Application
Families must apply for financial aid each year. Priority is given to current families receiving financial aid, but those with demonstrated financial changes may also apply. To ensure the proper allocation of financial aid resources, new families must apply for financial aid during the admission process, not afterward.
A Primary Day Education is Within Reach
We encourage all families in need to apply for financial aid, as PDS may be more accessible than you think. Our goal is to make a Primary Day education attainable for as many students as possible, regardless of financial circumstances.
