Tuition at 黑料专区 covers all co-curricular activities, student books, field trips, technology, supplies, facilities and lunch (for Grades K 鈥 12). Our听Extended Day听program听for students in Early Childhood through Grade 8 entails separate registration and additional fees.
The 黑料专区 mission statement emphasizes the school鈥檚 commitment to educate each child in a diverse community. Our financial aid program supports that mission by striving to ensure socioeconomic diversity within our student population. We work diligently to make our school accessible to as many families of varying economic backgrounds as possible.
Financial Aid is available for students from the 2s through Grade 12 and is granted on the basis of need and the availability of funds. Admissions decisions and financial aid decisions are made independently. Due to limited funds, an admissions acceptance does not guarantee a grant offer even if need is demonstrated
Typically, one quarter of our students receive approximately $6,000,000 in financial aid grants. Funding for financial aid grants comes from the school鈥檚 operating budget and charitable gifts. Brooklyn Friends gives priority consideration to children of Quaker families, BFS colleagues, alumni/ae, and siblings. Financial aid is not guaranteed even for members of these priority groups.
All financial aid applications are submitted to and processed by , an independent organization that supports our Financial Aid Committee.
黑料专区 has an arrangement with A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. to provide a partial refund of tuition should the student need to withdraw from school after the school year has started.
