Tuition & Financial Aid

We are committed to providing an education in which your student will grow and strive, building the skills and knowledge to launch from Dublin School with confidence and courage. A Dublin education opens doors -- not just to strong outcomes, but to a lifelong love of learning and a community that will support each student's potential beyond graduation day. This is a deliberate investment in your child's growth, values, and future.

Inclusive Tuition for 2026-27

*All families who pay in full by August 1 will receive a 1% incentive applied to their student account at the beginning of the academic year.

The security deposit for all boarding students is a one-time fee of $150 and is refunded upon graduation.

Inclusive tuition & our commitment to accessibility.

Our aim is to ensure that your family's upfront investment covers the full Dublin experience. Many schools will charge between $1,500-7,000 in additional fees at the beginning of or throughout the year. At Dublin School, you will not be charged additional fees for technology, athletics, health and wellness center visits, class trips, or textbooks.

International trips, AP exams, shuttle service, school store purchases and an Epic Ski Pass for our alpine/snowboarding teams are not included, but there is financial aid available.

It is our commitment to make Dublin School accessible. We have a robust financial aid program for families who demonstrate financial need.

Nearly 35% of our families receive financial aid, ranging from full to partial financial aid awards. To be considered for need-based financial aid, please apply through Clarity.

Process

Every family that wants to be considered for need-based financial aid must fill out the Clarity Financial Aid Application each year they enroll, by the set deadlines.

The application deadlines are January 16 for returning families and January 31 for new families.
All parents and guardians must complete income verification and tax documents for the application to be considered complete.
The Financial Aid Committee* will review Financial Aid applications after the family has submitted all required documents and, for new students, after the Admissions Committee has made an admission decision.
Financial Aid Awards are released along with the enrollment contract to newly admitted students on March 10.
Financial Aid Awards for returning families go out in mid-February; they are to accept or deny their award by early-March.

*The Financial Aid committee consists of the Director of Enrollment Management and the Chief Financial Officer.

Financial Aid Principles

At Dublin School we observe the NAIS Principles of Good Practice for Financial Aid Administration stated below.

Recognizing that each family bears the primary responsibility for financing a student’s education costs, NAIS’s Principles of Good Practice for Financial Aid Administration are designed to serve as guideposts in developing professional policies and orderly procedures among schools. Through these principles, NAIS affirms its belief that the purpose of a financial aid program is to provide monetary assistance to those students who cannot afford the cost of attending an independent school. Furthermore, these principles reflect the standards of equity and fairness NAIS embraces and reassert NAIS’s ongoing commitment to access and diversity.

The school adheres to all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations, including antitrust laws and those that require nondiscriminatory practice in administering its financial aid policies.
The school operates within the context of both short- and long-range financial aid budget and policy goals.
The school uses objective research to measure the effectiveness of its progress toward its goals, and communicates the outcomes to its constituents as appropriate.
The school provides clear and transparent information to families through outreach, education, and guidance on all aspects of its financial aid process and the factors that influence admission and aid eligibility.
The school determines eligibility for admission without regard to a student’s application for financial aid.
The school commits to providing financial aid dollars to applicants who demonstrate that their family resources are insufficient to meet all or part of the total educational costs.
The school continues to provide support to students as long as they demonstrate financial need.
The school maintains the same standards of behavior and academic performance for recipients of financial aid as it does for nonrecipients.
The school enacts documented procedures that ensure a fair, consistent, and equitable assessment of each family’s ability to contribute toward educational expenses.
The school makes and communicates financial aid decisions in a manner that allows families to make timely, careful, and fully informed enrollment decisions.
The school establishes administrative and accounting procedures that distinguish the school’s need-based financial aid program from tuition assistance programs that are not based on financial need.
The school safeguards the confidentiality of financial aid applications, records, and decisions while respecting the right of each family to discuss its own financial aid outcomes in an appropriate manner.
The school supports collaboration between the financial aid office and other offices within the school.
The school supports collegial relationships with other schools and organizations for professional development, exchange of best practices, and other information sharing as appropriate and consistent with applicable antitrust laws.
