Tuition and Financial Aid

The Langley School offers several options to pay tuition:

• Annually: Full tuition paid by early June for the upcoming year
• Semi-Annually: Tuition paid in two installments in June and January
• Monthly: Tuition paid in monthly installments beginning in June and continuing through February

A 10% non-refundable deposit is required of all students at the time of enrollment, regardless of the chosen payment plan.

The Langley School offers the A.W.G. Dewar Tuition Refund Plan to all families, which insures a portion of the unused tuition obligation to the school in the event of a withdrawal before completion of the school year.

Yes. We recognize that applicants may have differing levels of ability to afford the school’s tuition. We strongly believe that applicants should be admitted based on their ability to thrive within our academic environment, not their ability to afford the cost of a Langley education.

Clarity processes all financial aid applications, evaluating each family’s individual financial situation. Langley’s Financial Aid Committee then reviews Clarity reports, the family’s IRS 1040 tax return and attachments (including W-2s), and any other information that may affect need. The Clarity 2026-2027 application for tuition assistance is available here.

A family’s financial circumstances are not included in the criteria upon which individual students are evaluated for admission. Admission decisions are made independently of financial aid decisions.

Yes. Bus, extended day, and lunch costs are all discounted at the same percentage as the tuition award. And since we believe learning does not stop in the classroom, enhancements such as field trips, technology, sports uniforms and equipment, and musical instruments are provided free of charge to all students.

Yes. Because a family's financial circumstances are subject to change, we require reapplication for financial aid every year. However, if your family situation remains relatively the same, you can expect relatively the same percentage of assistance, understanding that tuition and fees are likely to increase each year.

In cases of divorce or separation, both parents or legal guardians are required to fully complete the financial aid process – together or separately – and have their information accurately reflected.

Langley’s Admission Office and Business Office work together to review financial aid applications. All information is secure and held in strict confidence. And, we ask families to similarly keep their awards confidential.

Yes. If you feel a Langley education is not affordable for your family, it never hurts to apply for financial aid. A wide range of our families receive some level of financial aid, including those with an income under $50,000 and those who earn over $350,000.
