Tuition & Financial Aid: 2026–2027 School Year

Investing in your child’s education is a significant decision. Below is the breakdown of tuition rates, deposits, and the financial aid timeline for the upcoming academic year at The Academy of 21st Century Learning.

  • Enrollment Deposit: $650 per student (due at enrollment to secure your child's spot).

Financial Aid & Timeline

We partner with SSS (School & Student Services) to provide tuition assistance. Since aid is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, we highly recommend applying early.

  • 📅 January 1, 2026: Applications for tuition assistance open.

  • ⚠️ June 28, 2026: Hard deadline for all applications and supporting documents.

  • 🎉 July 1, 2026: Award notifications are announced.

Budgeting for Success

While tuition covers our core STE²AM academic program, families should also budget for:

  • Extended Care: Before and after-school care options.

  • Enrichment: After-school clubs like Chess, Robotics, and Sports.

  • Incidentals: Uniforms, and school supplies.

Planning Tip: Gather your 2025 tax returns and W-2s early! Having these ready by January allows you to complete your SSS application the moment it opens.
