Registration fee: $300 per student, with a family max of $600. Non-refundable; secures enrollment.

Ways to pay

Pay in full
One payment, with a 2% discount.
Semi-annual
Two payments across the year.
Monthly
Twelve equal payments over 12 months.

Sibling discounts make Southbridge workable for whole families: 5% off for a second child, 10% for a third, and 15% for a fourth.

At this time we do not have financial aid or scholarships available, though we hope that changes in the future. We do offer payment plans that spread tuition over 12 months.

How to enroll

01

Book a tour

Every enrollment starts with a tour. Come see the classrooms, meet us, and ask everything. There is no obligation and no pressure.

02

Apply

After your tour, you are invited to apply. There is an application fee due at that time, and it is applied toward your registration fee.*

03

Register

Once accepted, complete registration to secure your child's spot. Fee details are in the tuition table above.

*Non-refundable in the event enrollment is not completed.

Timing

When can we enroll?

We accept families year-round for the current school year. Enrollment for the following school year opens each January. If you are thinking ahead, tour anytime and we will make sure you are first to know when enrollment opens.

Due to high retention, space becomes more limited each year, as we guarantee spots for our currently enrolled families.
