Making an Investment in Your Child's Future
We understand that sending your child to a private school is a significant investment for your family that requires planning and drawing from a variety of resources. This page is intended to share opportunities available through John Carroll as well as some third-party partners; additional resources may also be available.
Tuition
Tuition for the 2018–19 school year is $17,200 for domestic students and is inclusive of most fees, but it does not include the cost of the student’s laptop, uniform, textbooks, or bus transportation (optional).
A variety of payment plans ranging from 1-pay to 20-pay options are available through FACTS Management Company; please visit their website for more information or to enroll.

Financial Aid
Admissions staff will provide guidance for all families interested in the financial aid process. Our Financial Aid committee closely reviews your family’s unique financial situation based on evaluation from FACTS Management Company (FACTS), a third-party vendor and makes allocations based on whether your child qualifies for aid. Please review John Carroll’s Financial Aid Policy before applying.
The John Carroll School offers limited financial assistance to eligible families, based on documented financial need. Financial Aid grants are awarded annually and are deducted from the tuition. Families must reapply every year. The school reserves the right to rescind awards if the required documentation of income, assets and other data is not provided by the deadlines that are published.
To be considered for grants for the 2019-2020 school year, families must submit the online FACTS financial aid application between November 1 and December 21, 2018. 2018 tax returns must be uploaded to FACTS no later than May 1, 2019 for income verification.
New families are notified of awards as part of their acceptance package; returning families are notified before re-enrollment contracts are due.

The Multi-Child Family Discount provides families who have more than one child enrolled at John Carroll a reduction in tuition. The second child will receive $500 off tuition; the third child would receive an additional $500 off of tuition and so forth.
