Tuition & Financial Aid
Supporting Our Families.
We welcome families to apply for assistance. Saint David’s maintains a deep commitment to financial aid with more than 12 percent of students receiving aid each year. In addition to tuition assistance, students participating in our financial aid program receive proportional assistance for school events fees, after school programs, school trips, on-campus birthday parties, and summer camps.
2025-2026 Tuition Fee
Pre-Kindergarten Tuition: $42,600.00
Optional Extended Day: + $3,650.00 per semesterAlpha through Grade Eight Tuition: $64,000.00
Tuition includes lunch, books, athletics, student accident insurance, and Parents Association dues.
Boys living more than one-half mile from school receive a complimentary MetroCard.
2025-2026 Payment Schedule
Tuition is invoiced through our billing partner, Blackbaud Tuition Management. Parents can select one of three plans to remit payment:
One full payment (due on May 1)
Two payments (60% of tuition due on May 1 and 40% due on December 1)
Eight monthly payments (May 1 through December 1)
Invoices for additional charges—such as club activities or after-school programs—are issued periodically throughout the school year.
Participants in Blackbaud Tuition Management will make payments pursuant to the terms of the plan. If you are interested in tuition refund insurance coverage, view the terms here.
Please note that students will not be admitted to school if tuition is not current.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is available to families who demonstrate need. Please see the links below for financial aid application procedures. Applications for admissions are evaluated independently of financial aid applications. Families who do not apply for financial aid at the time of admission must wait two years before becoming eligible. Application fees are waived for financial aid applicants.
