- Tuition Assistance
- Paideia Academy offers need-based financial assistance to families on a first-come, first-served basis. Levels of tuition assistance offered will depend on a number of factors including total (gross) family income, number of family members, number of children enrolled at Paideia, and any additional extenuating financial circumstances. To apply for tuition assistance, simply complete an FFNA (Family Financial Needs Assessment) application (available from the school office) and submit it according to its enclosed instructions. It is expected that families will pursue every other available means of financial assistance (family, other scholarship funds, etc.) prior to applying for aid directly from Paideia Academy.
-
- Enrollment Deposit
- Families whose children have been accepted to Paideia Academy will receive an enrollment contract that must be completed and returned to the school. This enrollment contract must be accompanied by an enrollment deposit totaling one-twelfth (1/12th) of the family's total tuition due.

- Payment Plans
- Option 1: One (1) lump sum payment due on June 1st, (remaining tuition balance after enrollment deposit). There will be a 3% discount for tuition paid in full by June 1st.
- Option 2: Twelve (12) monthly payments due on or before the first day of each month beginning with June 1st, with the final payment due on or before May 1st the following year. Each payment is the same amount as the enrollment deposit (one-twelfth of total tuition obligation).
