Tuition & Affordability

Overview

Education is the Best Investment

At Country Day we strive to make our unparalleled program as financially accessible as possible, to all those families for whom our mission and program are an ideal fit. 

It is our desire that our community reflect the diversity and vibrancy of our region. Towards that effort, we offer both scholarship and tuition assistance to financially eligible families. 

For the 2017-18 school year, we granted close to $2 million dollars in tuition assistance to qualifying families in Pre-kindergarten through Grade 12. Household incomes for families participating in the Tuition Assistance Program range from under $30,000 to over $150,000.

Our admissions and tuition assistance application processes are separate and simultaneous. If you are inspired by all that Country Day has to offer but concerned about the investment required to make this education possible, please reach out to our admissions team: admissions@saccds.org

Tuition FAQs

Is tuition assistance available?

Yes. Sacramento Country Day awards approximately $2 million dollars in assistance each year.  Country Day is committed to helping families from socio-economically diverse backgrounds access a Country Day education. 

Can I break up the cost of tuition into more than one payment?

Yes you can. We offer one, two, and ten payment plans for your convenience. Payments can also be made by credit card with a 2.85% convenience fee.

Sacramento Country Day uses School and Student Services (SSS), an online service of the National Association of Independent Schools, to process our tuition aid applications. Tuition aid awards are ultimately determined by the School’s Tuition Assistance Committee.
