Tuition Assistance

Synergy School is committed to ensuring that we are accessible to a wide range of families representing broad cultural and socioeconomic diversity. At least a third of our families receive assistance that can range from 10% to 97% of tuition. All applications are considered separately from the admissions process and all financial information submitted to FAST and the Financial Aid Committee is kept confidential. Tuition assistance is based on demonstrated need, our commitment to diversity, and the availability of budgeted funds.
