Tuition & Financial Aid

We understand affording private school tuition can be a challenge and we are proud to support our families with a sliding scale tuition model. Be sure to apply early to secure a sliding scale tuition spot! Please note that sliding scale tuition is only determined after a family has completed the admissions process and been accepted to the school.

Contact our Admissions Office for details on how to apply for sliding scale tuition.

Compositive Primary is an amazing school that focuses on the whole child. We had the pleasure of enrolling our kiddo from the time the doors opened. Compositive has gone above and beyond to ensure that our kiddo’s needs are met both emotionally and physically. The teachers are truly amazing!! My son loves “atelierista” time every day. The way that history as a subject is integrated into the curriculum is fun and so applicable. One of my favorite aspects of Compositive is that they know all the kids by name, they are greeted in the morning and afternoon as they walk in by the principal and staff.”

FAQs

What is the difference between a tour and an open house?2020-04-06T11:48:03-06:00

Tours allow you to see not only Compositive Primary’s building, but also the students and teachers in action during the school day. Open houses occur during the evening or weekend and involve a building tour with an administrator as well as the opportunity to view the classrooms and meet several teachers. Tours and open houses are optional steps in the admission process. We host a few open houses each fall, and tours are offered throughout the school year. 

Are there fees in addition to tuition?2024-11-21T15:35:48-07:00

No. All materials are provided in the classrooms so we do not request school supplies at the beginning of the year. There are optional fees charged to students who sign up for the extended-day and Deep Dive programs. Teachers may ask for voluntary supplies, such as used cardboard boxes, for special projects. 

What is the purpose of submitting an inquiry form?2019-04-05T15:53:20-06:00

The inquiry form enables us to keep prospective applicant families informed of ongoing news and admissions events.

What tests are required for admissions?2019-04-05T15:52:48-06:00

We do not require cognitive testing. In addition to completing an application, parents and prospective students will participate in a tour and group or class visit during the admissions season. We request applicants for kindergarten and older to submit a teacher recommendation and school records.

When can I submit an application for my child?2019-04-05T15:51:12-06:00

Applications are accepted in the fall prior to the admissions school year. We do not accept applications any earlier on a waitlist basis.
