Tuition, Financial Aid, and Scholarships
There is no investment with a greater return than a child's education. Every SPA family makes an investment in their child’s tuition, and our $4.8 million financial aid program provides a bridge for families who qualify.
2026-2027 Tuition at SPA
financial aid
We offer approximately $4.8 million in financial aid to our K-12 families every year.
At SPA, we work hard to attract and retain the very best students. Our commitment to a pluralistic educational experience means creating a community that is as diverse in socioeconomic backgrounds as it is in interests, experiences, and cultures. As such, our student body reflects the broad diversity of families from the entire east and west metro area and beyond.
Because many factors guide financial aid decisions, we encourage families not to make assumptions about whether they are eligible, but to have a confidential conversation with our Enrollment team.
Through financial aid and payment plans, we strive to make SPA affordable for all families whose children have been admitted. The chart shows the percentage of awards given to SPA families at various family income levels.
| Family Income | Percent of Awards |
|---|---|
| $0-$100,000 | 25% |
| $100,000-$200,000 | 48% |
| Greater than $200,000 | 26% |
How to Apply for Financial Aid
The first step is to indicate an intent to apply for financial aid on your admission application. Families then complete the financial aid application through the third-party vendor Clarity. Awards are determined by the SPA Financial Aid Committee using Clarity Tuition.
Please note: Financial aid is not currently available for students entering Pre-Kindergarten.
Scholarships
In addition to our robust financial aid program, SPA offers two additional need- and merit-based scholarship opportunities: The Redleaf Scholarships and the Malone Scholars Program.
