2024 – 2025 Tuition Rates
What is Indexed Tuition?
At Roots Academy, we believe that an exceptional education should be accessible to families from diverse financial backgrounds. Our Indexed Tuition model adjusts tuition rates based on each family’s unique financial situation, ensuring that every family contributes an amount that aligns with their means. This approach fosters inclusivity, removes barriers, and supports our commitment to building a vibrant, diverse school community.
For the 2025/26 school year, tuition rates are organized into three tiers:
Tier 1: $18,000
Tier 2: $19,125
Tier 3: $20,250 (Families may opt out of the Indexed Tuition process by selecting Tier 3.)
Unlike traditional financial aid, Indexed Tuition is a transparent and equitable process, creating a partnership between families and our school to sustain the high-quality education and robust support we offer to both students and educators. Together, we make it possible for all learners to thrive.
Please note: There are no additional fees associated with our program. All technology and activity fees are built into our tuition model. Proper clothing will go a long way to keep your child comfortable while exploring the outdoors. You will be provided with a seasonal gear list upon enrollment.
