Tuition, Fees, & Financial Aid

As an independent school, Grace is not parish subsidized. Nevertheless, Grace has historically maintained tuition levels below the median of other independent schools in the Washington Metropolitan Area. Comparatively modest tuition enables Grace to attract a diverse socioeconomic student body, perceived by parents and educators to be among the School's attractive attributes.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid is available to qualified Kindergarten through Sixth grade applicants. Grace awards financial aid solely on the basis of financial need as determined by School and Student Services for Financial Assistance in Princeton, N.J. Applicants’ parents complete a Parental Financial Statement (available in the Admission Office), and submit the form and nominal processing fee directly to SSS by February 15, 2007. Parents must also submit a copy of the previous year’s 1040 tax form(s) and any schedules, and a copy of the previous year’s W-2 form(s) directly to the Admission Office at Grace by March 1, 2007. Once SSS has analyzed the data submitted to them and has conveyed the analysis to Grace, the Financial Aid Committee reviews all information and begins the process of determining the financial aid awards and sends a written notification to those families who completed the process.

Grace participates in the Black Student Fund and Latino Student Fund. Please contact the school for further information
