We believe families deserve straightforward information early in the process so expectations are clear and decisions are not rushed later. This page outlines tuition, financial aid, and support options to help families determine whether this school is a realistic and appropriate fit. ## School Overview The Craig School is a private, nonprofit school serving students in grades 3 through 8. Tuition reflects the staffing, structure, and integrated supports required to serve students well in a full academic program. ## Tuition & Partnership Investment Annual tuition for the 2026–2027 school year is$41,000. Tuition reflects a fully integrated educational model that combines standards-aligned academic instruction, embedded behavioral support, daily Social Skills and Communications classes, and ongoing collaboration with families. Every component of the program is intentionally designed to work together so students can learn, regulate, and grow within a cohesive, structured environment. ### New Family Parent Education All new families participate in a required six-week Parent Education series during their first year of enrollment. The cost of the series is$900and is separate from annual tuition. Parent Education is not an add-on. It is an essential part of our partnership model. The series provides practical, research-informed strategies that align school and home approaches, strengthen parent-child relationships, and support lasting student growth. ## What Tuition Includes ### Academic Instruction Standards-aligned teaching in small, supportive classrooms. ### Enrichment & Community Movement, enrichment, and community experiences beyond academics. ### Social Skills Instruction Structured daily classes building communication and peer confidence. ### Behavioral Support Real-time support to help students stay regulated and engaged. ### Family Partnership Ongoing collaboration and clear communication with families. ### Science of Learning Research-informed decisions guiding instruction and student support. ## Additional Services The Craig School offers supplemental services that may be available for an additional cost based on student need and provider availability. These may include specialized academic instruction, speech therapy, occupational therapy, or individual counseling. Details about optional services are discussed during the admissions process. ## Financial Aid and Tuition Assistance Financial assistance is limited and awarded based on demonstrated need and available resources. Because tuition assistance budgets are finite, families who anticipate needing aid are strongly encouraged to explore eligibility early in the admissions process using FACTS Grant & Aid. ## Early Financial Need Assessment with FACTS FACTS Grant & Aid is a third-party service that evaluates household income, expenses, assets, and family size. The resulting report helps inform financial aid decisions but does not guarantee an award. Completing a FACTS application: * Helps families assess affordability early * Supports clearer planning and expectations * Does not require applying or enrolling Financial aid budgets are limited, and timing matters. Completing FACTS early allows for more informed decision-making on both sides. ## District Placement (Nonpublic School) The school is certified by the California Department of Education as a nonpublic school. Some students may attend through placement by their local school district as part of an Individualized Education Program. Families considering this option are encouraged to discuss next steps with both their district and the admissions team. ## Let's Talk Early If you are considering applying and believe you may need tuition assistance, starting the FACTS Grant & Aid process early is an important first step. We welcome conversations about financial considerations and approach them with care, respect, and transparency. ------------------------------------------------------------ ABOUT THIS CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------ Source: https://thecraigschool.org/tuition This content is provided for informational purposes.
