Tuition Assistance

Our Tuition Assistance program supports our commitment to making an Old Orchard education accessible to families from a wide range of income levels. Through this program, we are able to offer adjusted tuition packages for financially eligible families.

To help evaluate Tuition Assistance decisions, Old Orchard uses a third party system. We ask all interested families to complete and submit a Financial Needs Assessment application. This provides a starting point to help Old Orchard make fair and objective Tuition Assistance decisions.

Program Highlights

Tuition Assistance applications for the 2026-27 school year will be available on November 14, 2025 (including all supporting materials) are due January 21, 2026.
A completed application for admission to Old Orchard must be submitted before the school is able to consider or discuss Tuition Assistance.
Applying for Tuition Assistance does not influence the school’s admission decision in any way; if your child is eligible for admission, he or she will be offered a place at Old Orchard regardless of financial need or the school’s ability to offer a Tuition Assistance package.

Applying for Tuition Assistance does not guarantee Old Orchard will be able to offer assistance.

Tuition Assistance packages apply to a single school year. All families, both new and returning, will need to reapply and provide updated documents by the application deadline each year.

How to Apply for Tuition Assistance

Submit Financial Needs Assessment (available as of Nov 14) and All Supporting Documentation no later than Jan 21, 2026:
