Tuition & Assistance

List of 4 items.

• 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.

  Understanding the TILA Notice
  For Plans B and C, a Truth in Lending Act (TILA) notice is provided with your enrollment agreement. This notice clearly explains the total cost of your payment plan, including the finance fee, and shows your payment schedule in plain terms. The purpose is to make sure every family fully understands the cost of spreading tuition payments over time.
