Tuition
Tuition pays toward the cost of instruction at The Geneva School.
In addition to tuition, families cover the cost of uniforms and lunch and pay an activity fee in September and January. The costs of out-of-town overnight field trips and athletic/cocurricular activities and clubs are also in addition to tuition. A variety of tuition payment options are available for parents and include annual, semester, and monthly.
Payment by credit card via FACTS is allowed; however, a convenience fee will apply.
Enrollment Fee
Enrollment fees are in addition to annual tuition and reserve a student’s place at The Geneva School.
These fees purchase student textbooks and teaching supplies, and they enable the school to make financial commitments for the coming year. Re-enrolling students receive a $200 discount on the fee. Students who opt out by January 31 and then decide later to re-enroll will not receive the $200 discount. Every family pays an enrollment fee per year per student. Enrollment fees are nonrefundable.
Enrollment Fees for Families Applying for Tuition Assistance
For each new student accepted to Geneva whose family has applied for tuition assistance, a nonrefundable deposit of $100 is required toward the enrollment fee. Once tuition assistance is awarded (if any) and accepted, the balance of the enrollment fee will become due.
For current students, enrollment fees are refundable (minus $100 per child) to families who have applied for tuition assistance as long as both the following apply:
A family applies for tuition assistance by the deadline outlined on the Tuition Assistance page.
After notification from the school regarding the financial aid amount, a parent chooses not to accept the assistance offered.
Admission Testing
The Geneva School utilizes the ISEE admission test for 5th–12th grade. This test is administered at Geneva once a month on Saturday mornings throughout the admission season.
The test is also administered at other area schools. A student may choose when and where to take the ISEE based on their family’s availability. The cost for the ISEE varies from $155 to $200 and is paid at the time of registration.
Students entering K4–4th grade are assessed for admission by TGS faculty. The admission office will call to schedule an appointment for the assessment.
