The tuition is an annual sum divided into ten (10) payments. Tuition remains the same regardless of a child’s attendance, closing for holidays, inclement weather, or any other closings beyond the school’s control.

A deposit is required to secure your child’s place for enrollment. This payment represents the tenth payment or last month of tuition. The remaining nine (9) payments are due on the first of the month, beginning September 1, 2025, and ending May 1, 2026. Children who are enrolled after the start of the school year will be given prorated tuition and an individualized schedule for payment.

A 5% discount is available for individuals who pay the entire year’s tuition in advance by October 1st. A 10% discount is applied when a family enrolls more than one child. (Please note: The first child pays full tuition, and additional enrolled children receive a 10% discount.)

Please call (978) 448-2297 or email Anne Tucker at atucker@gdrsd.org with any questions.
