Invest in Your Child’s Future
The Marylhurst School, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization takes great pride in making exceptional, independent education affordable.
Each year the Board of Trustees is responsible for setting tuition for the following academic year. Throughout the year, we strive to keep costs low, acting as strong financial stewards for the school. In setting tuition we consider several factors, things as faculty and staff compensation and benefits, operating costs, inflation, opportunities to enhance our programming and curriculum, and anticipated enrollment. We aim to continually build on the programs we offer, create financial stability to sustain us through good times and bad, and provide exceptional value for the students and families we serve.
We encourage families to apply for admission even if they feel the cost of tuition is out of reach. Approximately 11% of the student body receives financial assistance through need-based grants. All families receive a 5% discount for younger sibling’s tuition.

Tuition Assistance
The Marylhurst School believes socioeconomic diversity enriches the educational experience for all its students and is committed to offering a need-based financial assistance program. Although families bear the primary responsibility for financing their child's education, the school provides need-based assistance to help bridge the gap between a family's resources and a child's total educational experience.
Each year we allocate a percentage of our operating budget for financial assistance to families. Approximately 11% of the student body receives need-based financial assistance with an average award of $4,176.
The tuition assistance application for the 2024-2025 school year is now closed. The application for the 2025-2026 school year will open January 6, 2025.
