CAIS defines Adjusted Tuition as the amount which a family can reasonably afford to pay. Adjusted Tuition covers base tuition, extended care, and Global Programs. For the 2026-2027 school year, 21.7% of families (representing 23% of students) paid Adjusted Tuition ranging from $2,500 to $46,244.
ELIGIBILITY:
Eligibility is determined by an independent review organization (Clarity) as well as our Adjusted Tuition Committee. Applying for Adjusted Tuition is not a factor in our admissions decisions. Applicant families that are given an offer of enrollment will concurrently receive the Adjusted Tuition decision letter.
The Adjusted Tuition Committee reviews applications and determines expected family contributions to tuition on an annual basis. Consideration for adjusted tuition is prioritized as follows: returning students, followed by new K–8 students, then new P3/P4 students, and finally P2 students. All decisions are made in view of the school’s operating budget in a given school year.
APPLICATION PROCESS:
While families must reapply for the Adjusted Tuition annually, a family may expect substantially similar adjusted tuition rates from year to year unless there is a change in the family’s financial situation.

Please see the special email listed in the links at right for directing questions about Adjusted Tuition.
