The Raleigh School requires a tuition deposit of $500 to be submitted with the signed Enrollment Contract (applied toward tuition). The tuition deposit is nonrefundable.

New Student Entry Fee

A one-time entry fee of $800 for each new elementary student is due on February 1 or on the date of enrollment, if after February 1. This fee is nonrefundable.

Payment Options

Three tuition payment options are available to allow families flexibility. Families may choose to pay tuition in one payment, two separate payments, or ten monthly payments. A multi-payment fee and tuition insurance will apply to the two and ten payment options.
