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.
