Affording CWA
Tuition & Financial Aid
Affording Charles Wright Academy
Charles Wright Academy is committed to fostering socioeconomic diversity by providing financial aid to families pursuing a CWA college preparatory education. We aim to make this program accessible for students from Kindergarten through 12th Grade. Our Financial Aid process is distinct from the admission process, and each application is thoroughly reviewed with care.
Beginning School (Ages 2.5 -5) FULL DAY
Lower School (Kindergarten-Grade 4)
Middle School (Grade 5-8)
Upper School (Grades 9-12)
To afford Charles Wright Academy tuition, families can choose from our payment plans, allowing for one, three, or nine payments throughout the academic year. It’s important to note that Beginning School is not eligible for financial aid. However, tuition covers lunch, snacks, before and after-school care, and optional summer care. For more information, please get in touch with the Office of Admission at (253) 620-8373 or admissions@charleswright.org.
The Financial Aid Process
During the previous year, 40% of Charles Wright Academy students received financial aid grants totaling $3.8 million.
We understand that financing an independent school education can be a significant expense. While the primary responsibility of tuition payment lies with the family, we are committed to meeting the demonstrated financial needs of our enrolled families as much as possible.
