Tuition
We recognize that paying for a Paideia education is a considerable investment for most families.
We do all we can to use our resources wisely while maintaining a culture of teaching and learning that is both personal and individualized.
Over the years, Paideia has evolved from a small school inspired by educational idealism into a major institution with a strong record of accomplishment and community support, still practicing the core beliefs of the founding generation of teachers and parents.
Since March 2020, Paideia’s teachers have created rich, engaging online instruction at all levels of the school. The teacher-driven approach to our curriculum gives our teachers flexibility and freedom to create learning experiences that capture students’ interests and imaginations. Although it is challenging to teach from afar, Paideia School remains committed to quality instruction, whether teachers share classroom spaces or screens with their students.
