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.
Families interested in determining eligibility for tuition
assistance may do so by applying through a standard online
application through SSS. When we make an initial, first time
award to a family, we do so bearing in mind our ability to
maintain that award throughout the remainder of that student’s
tenure (should the family’s financial situation remain the
same.)
Each year that a family needs Tuition Assistance they are asked
to reapply. The reapplication window opens in September and the
deadline is usually in late January. Having families update us on
their current financial situation each year allows us
to adjust these awards to meet increased or decreased needs.

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.
Is technology included in tuition?
Tuition covers the cost of personal technology devices for Grades
6-12. Students in 6th-8th grade are issued
Chromebooks. Grades 9-12 use MacBook Air computers. Lower
School students have access to iPads via mobile carts.
Are textbooks included in tuition?
There is no charge for textbooks from Pre-K – Grade 5. All
students in Grades 6-12 purchase their own textbooks, a standard
practice at independent schools.
Are there any other costs not covered in tuition?
Class trips for Grades 4-12 are an additional cost, as are
our hot lunch program, extended care and/or after-school
programs.
