Affordability: Tuition & Financial Aid

Tuition
At CA, our tuition is as comprehensive as possible so that each student enjoys a challenging and rewarding experience. Our tuition covers all basic educational expenses, including classroom supplies, field trips, yearbooks, student publications, computer use, lunch, and commencement.

  • For Grades 5-9: tuition includes the cost of a student iPad; families are responsible for a keyboard and case. 
  • For Grades 6-12: families are responsible for the cost of books/ebooks (approximately $150 per year for Middle School; $400 per year for Upper School).


2019-2020 TUITION

  • Pre-Kindergarten (full day): $23,850
  • Kindergarten (full day) - Grade 5: $27,160
  • Grades 6-12: $29,420

Bus Transportation and Before- and After-School Programs are available for an additional fee. Click here to view extra fee services provided by Colorado Academy.

Financial Aid
Our priority is for all admitted students to have the opportunity to attend CA, regardless of their family's economic situation; please do not let the cost of tuition deter you from considering Colorado Academy.

For the 2019-2020 school year, CA offered over $3.7 million in financial aid to qualifying families, supporting more than 19 percent of the student body. Financial aid is awarded to current and newly admitted students on the basis of demonstrated need, as determined by factors such as income, family size, assets, and liabilities. As financial aid is treated as a gift from the school, there are no repayment requirements. However, as circumstances and tuition change each school year, families are required to complete the financial aid process on a yearly basis. 
 
First priority is given to families who submit all of their financial information by the February 15 deadline. Families applying for aid after the deadline are considered for the financial aid waitlist.
