An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Sliding-Scale Scholarships
Sliding-scale scholarships are based on each family's means, making this opportunity available to more families in our community.
​
How does the sliding scale work?
-
Sliding-scale tuition is based on the principle that a family’s financial commitment should be inequitable proportion to its financial resources.
-
TADS, a third-party company, evaluates a family's financial data and makes recommendations to Acton Academy on where the family's ability to pay tuition lies on the sliding scale. The same financial information is asked of all parents.
-
Applying for sliding-scale tuition is optional. Families who wish to not apply for the sliding scale pay the full tuition rate.
-
In order to further close the gap between sliding-scale tuition and operating costs, Acton seeks support from grants and generous donors who support our vision. ​
