Tuition & Financial Aid

Any APL family can apply for financial aid. While the primary goal of the program is to increase accessibility for lower income families, minor subsidies may also be available to families with more means. The application is sent to existing families annually during re-enrollment, and to new families upon acceptance to APL. Any families who are interested in receiving financial aid are encouraged to apply.

Currently tuition can be paid:

• All at once
• In two 50% increments in August and January
• In 10 monthly increments 

Payment options may look different for mid-year enrollment, depending on when a student starts.

Raising a child can come with a seemingly endless list of costs, so we've condensed all of our standard fees into the tuition rate so there's less for you to track. Activities, school supplies, field trips, and other typical school fees are all included in the tuition rate so you don't have to worry about unexpected fees later.

Clinic Services: Many of our learners receive clinical services, but not all do. As a result, the fees for receiving clinical services are separate from tuition. Often, these services can be covered by insurance providers and the only out of pocket costs to families are copays and deductibles. 

Before + After Care: APL offers before and after-school care that is charged in addition to tuition. Families can pay a monthly subscription fee or on a one-off basis, depending on how often they plan to use the program. Families receive more information about this program upon acceptance to APL.

Lunch: In lieu of packing a lunch, families can opt in to Greensprout, which APL partners with to provide hot lunches to students. Families are subject to the fees associated with Greensprout which is not managed by APL.

Technology: APL currently provides 5-12 grade students with devices they need to access their education. If a student needs additional technology for their education, the burden of cost is situational.

Financial aid is used to supplement the annual tuition of APL and cannot be used to supplement any other costs.

Financial need is defined as the difference between the cost of APL's tuition and a family's ability to contribute to that cost. We believe that families have an obligation to provide for their child's education to the extent that they are able, and therefore utilize the services of TADS to help determine a family's eligibility for aid. Several factors including income, assets, liabilities, and the number of children in tuition-charging schools are taken into consideration. In order to apply, families must complete the TADS application, and file copies of the required documents. More details are available on TADS website.
