Sliding-Scale Tuition

Scholarships and Grants

Sliding-scale tuition is based on each family's means, making this opportunity available to more families in our community. Tuition is a set yearly amount conveniently broken into monthly payments.  

​

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. ​
