Tuition & Financial Assistance
At Episcopal Day, we recognize that an independent school education is a significant investment in your child's future and it is a 'gift for a lifetime.' Please see below for a list of our tuition rates for the 2024-2025 school year.
Making Episcopal Day Affordable
As a part of the Episcopal value of inclusivity, we strive to make Episcopal Day accessible to students from all walks of life. This tradition moves us toward envisioning what a truly accessible independent school can be. Our financial assistance program makes Episcopal Day accessible and affordable.
Financial assistance can range from a few thousand dollars to the total cost of tuition. These awards do not need to be repaid. We encourage families to apply for admission regardless of their financial circumstances.
For the 2025-26 school year, the financial aid application is available beginning October 1, 2024 and is due for new families on December 31, 2024.
Episcopal Day partners with Clarity, an organization that provides an independent assessment of each financial aid application. Families receive notice of financial aid awards with their acceptance letters in March. Episcopal Day families receiving financial assistance are required to reapply for financial aid each year, and awards may be adjusted as family circumstances change.
Each year, Clarity hosts several Application Info Webinars for families. All families who may be applying to any Clarity school are welcome to attend any of these webinars. During the live session, Clarity representatives will go over some key aspects of the application, things to look out for, materials to gather, how to get help, how the tax verification process works, and a robust Q&A. Typically these will run for about 60 minutes but we will remain live longer if there are lots of questions from parents.

"Episcopal Day School of St. Matthew has been the perfect school for our two children, Theo and Leia. It's been an environment that has not only fostered their education, but also grown their characters. Teachers here can really get to know each student personally. The community feels extremely warm and well connected to each other. What impressed us the most was seeing how well-spoken and confident the students are at the school. Episcopal Day finds many unique opportunities for them to present themselves in front of their class, school and community. It's an amazing way to build important life skills." - Yam Family
Our youngest of 4 children finally got to attend Episcopal Day in fall 2021. For years, he has been going to pick up and drop off, chapel, making deliveries to the office, and it is now his school community too. He sees kids at drop off and comments that his friends are here today. He knows that on Fridays he goes to Chapel on the “big school side” and gets to see his brother. Episcopal Day has become his community. He loves going to school to learn and have fun, but overall it’s a happy place for him because he knows he belongs. We are so grateful to be a part of Episcopal Day and thrilled that our son is having an incredible first school experience- one that instills the love of learning and that creates a sense of belonging. — Wilson Family
Our experience at Episcopal Day has been remarkable. Our son, Charlie started in the Pre-K Program in fall 2021. From the very first moment he stepped foot in his classroom Charlie and our family immediately felt connected to this wonderful community of educators, families, and students. The level of experiences, exploration, discussions, learning, and friendships that happen every day in the classrooms and playground at Charles House as well as main Baldwin Campus are extraordinary and invaluable. As a family we look forward to all the years to come at Episcopal Day. — Calihan Family
“Our family has felt warmly welcomed by the Episcopal Day community. The school has created an environment where our middle schooler has clearly been inspired by her teachers to dive deep into her academic inquiries, try new things, and come to know herself with greater depth. That you hold space for this for your students in general is amazing, but I think it is especially remarkable during the middle school years! We are so grateful.” - Keintz Family
