An ethnically and economically diverse community is an asset for independent schools. To achieve it, Trū considers its professional and financial resources as a common good. We hold the intention of making transformative education available to children regardless of their means.
Community based tuition is how Trū describes financial support. It reflects how we think about tuition; our community gives to support the education of the whole community, with the belief that our school culture and our children’s learning are enriched by a diverse set of families.
To give you an idea of what tuition you might expect to pay, here are some sample historical profiles to consider. Of course, each family’s situation is unique, and we make no guarantee that future decisions will match the numbers below:
Family income – $91,000
Family assets – $66,000
Tuition paid – $2,500
Family income – $190,000
Family assets – $200,000
Tuition paid – $13,000
Family income – $300,000
Family assets – $500,000
Tuition paid – $22,000
Trū uses FAST from Independent School Management (ISM) to process Community Based Tuition applications. FAST provides our school with a need-based financial analysis, allowing us to allocate our resources wisely and fairly. All information from FAST regarding a family’s financial information is kept confidential.
The Community Based Tuition application is available at apply.ismfast.com.
