Tuition & Affordability
Carolina Friends School has a long-standing commitment to the founding belief that every child is equally deserving of an inspiring and inclusive education.
Consistent with the values of our community, we have developed a tuition model designed to nurture the goal of creating both access and affordability in a sustainable way for our school.
Families who wish to be considered for a tuition level below the top of the tuition range need to submit their financial information for review and consideration to Clarity at the same time as submission of an enrollment application for admission. Adjusted tuition can then be calculated based on that family’s unique financial profile.
2023-24 Tuition Range By Unit
Early School 8:15 am-12:30 pm: $740 - $14,820
Early School 8:15 am-3:15 pm: $1,070 - $21,330

Upper School: $1,390 - $27,790
Our child is having a profoundly good experience in all areas, and shares that with us freely, frequently and without provocation. Our family could not be happier with Carolina Friends School. We're grateful for all the school does to make this experience such a significant positive in our lives. Upper School Parent
