Tuition and Financial Aid
Berkshire School is committed to enrolling students from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds who embody the School’s core values of curiosity, integrity, perseverance, inclusion, respect, and resilience.
AFFORDING BERKSHIRE
Berkshire School is committed to supporting families and students from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds as they navigate affording private school. Believe it or not, the actual cost of attending Berkshire exceeds tuition, and we are fortunate to have fiscally responsible leaders, a healthy endowment, and annual donations from friends, families, and alumni to make up the difference. Understanding that even this adjusted tuition is out of range for many families, Berkshire maintains a generous need-based financial aid budget that supports approximately 30% of our student body. Financial aid support ranges from $5,000 to nearly full tuition. If the tuition cost feels prohibitive to you, we encourage you to apply for financial aid.
Should you have specific questions about affording Berkshire, please feel free to call or
email any time.
Warmly,
Katherine Simmons
