Affording CWA

Tuition & Financial Aid

 

Affording Charles Wright Academy

Charles Wright Academy is dedicated to promoting socioeconomic diversity by offering financial aid to families seeking a CWA college preparatory education. We strive to make this program accessible to students, providing financial aid options for Kindergarten through 12th Grade. Our private school Financial Aid process is separate from the admission process and we carefully review all applications.

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, 37% of Charles Wright Academy students received financial aid grants totaling $3.2 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.
