Tuition & Financial Aid

Kindergarten - Eighth Grade Tuition
Regular yearly tuition for the 2025-2026 school year in Grades K-8 is $28,900. Payments can be made in 1, 2, 10, or 12 installments. This is an all-inclusive fee covering book fees, field trips, and extended care before and after school for those parents who need child care while they work. Parents may drop off as early as 7:30 a.m. and pick up as late at 6:00 p.m. for no additional fee. Regular school hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Extended outdoor education trips (overnight trips for Grades 4-8) are not included in the tuition, but students organize school fundraisers to help mitigate the cost of these trips.
 
Multiple-Child Discount
Families having two or more children enrolled in any Pinnacle School, including Hilldale School and Early Learning Academy, will receive a 5% discount for each younger sibling. The oldest sibling is charged the full tuition.  
 
Financial Aid Information
Hilldale School is committed to supporting qualified families through financial aid. To apply, families must complete the process on the SSS (School and Student Services) website. Early completion is strongly encouraged, as financial aid funds are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
