We Strive To Make Radcliffe Creek As Affordable as Possible!
Radcliffe Creek School recognizes that tuition can be a challenge for many of our families and in order to make our program accessible to more students, we award financial aid to more than 60% of our families. All financial aid is given on the basis of demonstrated need and availability of funds.
​
Admissions decisions and financial aid decisions are made separately. Once a student has been accepted to Radcliffe Creek and the financial aid forms have been completed, then a contract is issued specifying the financial aid amount.
​
Because the financial needs of our families far outweigh our resources, no student receives more than 50% of tuition for financial aid. Applications for financial aid must be renewed each year.
Our school code is 15353.
Paid In Full
RCS provides a complimentary $250 discount if your student's tuition is paid in full by July 1.
Sibling Discount
When your family joins Radcliffe Creek, we'll reduce your second child's tuition by 10%, and your third child's tuition by 15%.
Referral Discount
As a thank you for referring a family who joins our community, we'll apply a $500 discount to your tuition.
