Tuition & Affordability

A Valuable Investment for Families
Affording a Seven Hills Education

We believe that a whole child education is one of the most valuable investments a family can make. Every family brings unique perspectives and contributions to our community. In keeping with our mission—and recognizing that each family’s financial situation is different—we are committed to making a Seven Hills education accessible to as many families as possible.

Our Modified Tuition program adjusts tuition based on each family’s financial circumstances, helping us support a diverse student body. Currently, 22% of Seven Hills families benefit from Modified Tuition, which is determined through a confidential and comprehensive assessment. We partner with Clarity, an independent third-party service, to evaluate each family's financial profile and ensure a fair, consistent process.
