Tuition & Financial Aid
the value of a Mason Prep education
It’s not just the experiences your child has today; it’s about who they will become tomorrow.
When looking for the right school for your child, of course you want a strong academic foundation, but a well-rounded education is about more than academics - it’s about your child developing the skills, maturity, and strength of character that will stay with them for life. That’s the true value of a Mason Prep education.
The Mason Prep Difference Is Personal.
We Believe…students thrive when they feel connected to their school and valued by their community.
You’ll See It In…Castles, strong teacher-student relationships, open parent communication, and school traditions that bring students together.

Affording Mason Prep
We realize that sending your child to an independent school requires a great financial commitment, and we deeply appreciate our parents placing their trust in Mason Prep for their children's education. Our administration and Board of Trustees are committed to maintaining Mason Prep’s affordability for our current families and to making Mason Prep more accessible to new families.
Payment Plans
Mason Prep offers three options for paying tuition:
- One-time payment | full tuition
- Two-time payment plan | semi-annual payments*
- Ten-payment plan | June-April*
* A tuition assurance fee is applied to multi-payment plans. Tuition assurance reduces or eliminates a family's tuition obligation if a student leaves the school mid-year.
Financial Aid
Mason Prep offers financial assistance to our families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Mason Prep uses Clarity Financial Aid to manage the application process in a fair, consistent, and confidential manner. Families applying for Financial Aid should:
- Contact our admissions office for instructions on accessing the Clarity application site.
- On the Clarity site, you will enter your financial information and then review and submit your application.
