Beginning in 2026–2027, tuition reflects the full cost of enrollment. Previously separate fees are now bundled into the tuition rate. 

• Payments may be made in one, two, or ten-payment installments.
• Tuition Reimbursement Insurance (TRI) is required unless tuition is paid in a single installment. This fee is 2.5% of tuition.
• Financial aid is available for children enrolled in Grades K-8.   Due to the resources required for Nexus students, Financial Aid is not available
• Families who have more than one child enrolled, from infant to Grade 8, will have $100 credit applied per child towards PA fees.  This credit will be applied upon submission of the enrollment contract and deposit. 

Tuition at The Mead School, as at all independent schools, does not cover the full cost of a child’s education.  All independent schools ask parents/guardians to participate in an Annual Fund Campaign to supplement tuition income.  Contributions are tax-deductible.  Guidelines for giving are available online at https://www.meadschool.org/give-to-mead/the-mead-fund
