Description of program fees

The Book and Supply fee covers all textbooks including expendable workbooks as well as most supplies. It does not cover the cost of the TI-84 graphing calculator required in advanced math classes.

The Field Trip and Activity fee covers the cost of student participation in all required field trips including guest speakers and special events on campus.

The Tech Fee supports our enhanced technology classrooms in 3rd grade and up (electronic whiteboards) and laptops in middle school.

Optional Annual Fees

Group piano lessons: $900

The regular music program at The Girls' School is our Strings program. Students who opt to study piano instead of strings are assessed a piano fee to help defray the cost of a piano teacher and the small class size required for group piano lessons. 

Piano lessons are offered first to returning students who submit their signed contract by the deadline, followed by new students in the order in which their contract is received. Students who have studied piano previously may be given preference.
