Oak Hill School Tuition & Assistance

At Oak Hill School, we provide an education that inspires intellectual curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Families investing in an Oak Hill education gain access to supportive and exceptional teachers, a beautiful campus, rich academic and extracurricular experiences, and a diverse, engaged community committed to a well-rounded education.

Tuition
Tuition rates are set by the Oak Hill School Board of Trustees by the end of each calendar year for the following academic year. Families can choose from several flexible payment plans to make enrollment manageable. Annual tuition adjustments support faculty compensation, curricular enhancements, and facility improvements, ensuring that Oak Hill continues to provide a high-quality learning environment.

Financial Aid
Oak Hill School is committed to making our programs accessible to as many families as possible. Financial aid is available to support families who demonstrate need, helping to ensure that every student has the opportunity to benefit from our experiential learning environment. Families interested in financial aid are encouraged to apply early, as funding is limited and awarded on a first-come, reviewed basis.

The Oak Hill School Finance Committee works diligently to steward financial resources responsibly, balancing accessibility with the long-term sustainability of our programs.

  • Financial Aid for Grades K–8

    Financial aid is available for students entering grades K–8 and is awarded based on demonstrated financial need. Awards are made in the form of a grant applied as a reduction to tuition costs. Families must apply each year to be considered. Oak Hill School strives to fund financial aid through 8th grade, subject to available resources and demonstrated need.

    The primary responsibility for financing a student’s education rests with each family and takes precedence over the school’s ability to provide aid. Admission decisions are made independently of financial aid decisions.


    Additional Student Fees

    Tuition covers the core academic program but does not include incidental fees and expenses, such as:
    • Optional sports participation fees
    • Classroom materials or special class fees
    • Field trips
    • Meals
    • Other miscellaneous expenses
    Families who may experience financial hardship with required or optional activity or field trip fees are encouraged to contact the enrollment team. We are happy to work with families to ensure every student can fully participate in school programs.
