Making SGIS Affordable

We're Worth the Investment.

There is no investment more critical to a child’s development than his or her education. Parents who invest in a St. George’s education know their children will be challenged, enlightened and cared for as they grow to become fulfilled, well-rounded adults. With exceptional educational opportunities, individualized instruction by top-notch faculty, and unparalleled support as students navigate the complex social and emotional challenges of growing up, St. George’s is an investment well worth making.

We believe every child deserves an education of the highest caliber. We also believe all students benefit from a diverse student body that brings together students from nearly 50 zip codes—because our classrooms should reflect the tapestry of our city.

Financial Aid

St. George’s Independent School offers need-based financial aid as determined by the school based upon financial need assessed by FACTS. St. George’s does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national, or ethnic origin in the administration of its financial aid program. To apply for financial assistance, you must complete the financial aid application provided online by the School and FACTS. FACTS processes the family’s application and sends the school its assessment of the family’s financial need. Financial aid applications are considered complete when the FACTS assessment is received along with a copy of the applicant’s most recent Form 1040 with accompanying schedules, as well as an executed enrollment contract and tuition deposit. It is recommended that those seeking aid file after December 1 but before March 1. If you have questions about financial assistance, please contact the Business Office.

St. George’s offers Tuition Refund Insurance on an optional basis. As enrollment contracts are financially binding for the entire academic year, Tuition Refund Insurance is offered and strongly encouraged to insure against your tuition loss in the event a student must withdraw from school during the course of the school year.

Tuition Refund Insurance

Your financial obligation to the school is for the full annual tuition as stated in the school’s enrollment contract. The school cannot refund tuition or cancel unpaid obligations if a student is forced to withdraw during the academic year. If your student withdraws, the Tuition Refund Plan will pay benefits (subject to the terms of the policy and the amount insured) to the school, which provides substantial assistance in meeting your financial obligation.

Every year, thousands of students must withdraw from private schools for a variety of reasons, including family move, job loss, disciplinary dismissal, financial problems, mental health conditions, scholastic difficulties, death of a parent or student, or injury/sickness, among others.

This leaflet explains how to protect your tuition commitment against unforeseen withdrawals or dismissals. The Plan provides substantial insurance protection at a modest cost. Click the image to read full contents or download the PDF here.
