Investing in a quality independent school education is a significant financial commitment. However with careful planning it need not break your budget. Most families employ several strategies to keep the cost within reach.

Millwood recognizes the demands that tuition payments place on families, and recognizes that an independent school education is a major investment and one which often stretches a family’s resources. To assist families, Millwood offers a number of affordability programs including monthly payment plans and tuition insurance. Financial aid may also be available for accepted students, based on their level of need as assessed by the School and Student Service for financial aid (SSS).

Ten-Month Payment Plans
In addition to the option of paying tuition in full in August, Millwood also offers families a three semester payment plan and a ten-month payment plan. This provides families with more opportunities to manage their payments.

Tuition Insurance
Millwood offers a plan that allows parents to purchase tuition insurance for a nominal fee. If, for any reason, a student withdraws from Millwood during the course of the academic year, both parents and the school would be assured the continuation of tuition payments.

Local Banks
Families may explore loan opportunities through their local bank.

Family Support
Many families receive invaluable support from grandparents who are pleased to be able to invest in their grandchildren's future. Grandparents are warmly invited to tour the school, and be part of the admissions process. After enrollment, grandparents are always welcome at Millwood, and the Millwood Grandparents' Group arranges regular coffees and events.

Credit Card
Parents may pay tuition with Amex, Discover, MasterCard or Visa.
