Tuition & Affordability

Tuition for the current school year is $27,000. However, more than half of our families receive tuition assistance and do not pay this full amount. Tuition assistance is based on financial need and is available only because of the generous support of donors to our Annual Trinity Fund. For more information on how financial need is determined, please see under Tuition Assistance below.

Boston Trinity Academy seeks to accept students for admission from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. In order to make this possible, we have a need-based financial aid policy. For the current school year, we awarded close to $1.8 million in need-based aid.

We believe providing a quality education begins with the family. As such, need-based aid is defined as the difference between what a family is able to pay and the cost to attend Boston Trinity Academy. Boston Trinity Academy does not offer full scholarships. We believe the students and families who have the most success are personally and financially invested in their child's education. Instead, we offer meaningful financial aid that makes it possible for families to afford Boston Trinity.

Many factors determine whether or not a family will qualify for need-based aid. We consider such factors as household income and expenses, assets and debt, and other obligations or situations. We do this utilizing the principles and services of Clarity. Clarity offers a streamlined and user-friendly application that can take as few as twenty minutes to complete. It is mobile-friendly so you can complete your application on your phone or tablet! Your 1040 and W2 documents from 2021 will be transferred from the IRS when you complete the verification step, vastly reducing the time taken to complete the application. 

At BTA, our deep commitment to diversity is rooted in providing economic access for families of all income levels. ​Like most private schools, we determine how much each tuition each family pays based on their financial circumstances. 

Recognizing how complicated the process can be, we have sought ways to simplify the process. We are excited to introduce Clarity as our new financial aid platform, replacing SSS.

Important notes:

• We no longer be accept applications through SSS.
• ​If you have already submitted your application for the 2023-24 school year through SSS, you will need to complete a Clarity application. We will contact you and provide a fee waiver.
• Clarity is now open for submission. For prospective families, the deadline to apply is February 15.

How to complete a Clarity Application online:

• Go to the Clarity Portal or click the button below to fill out your application.
• Create your Clarity account with your email address and a password. If you applied for financial aid last year, you must create a Clarity account for future financial aid consideration.

Please reach out to Mr. Pat McAvoy, the Business Director, with any questions or concerns. 

APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID

Because family finances and the availability of funds can change annually, financial aid is not renewed automatically. Families must reapply for financial aid each school year. The financial aid committee will review each subsequent application and make any appropriate adjustments in financial aid packages.

The process to reapply for financial aid is the same in subsequent years as for first time applicants. See "How to Apply for Financial Aid" for more information.

Smart Tuition

For your convenience, Boston Trinity Academy uses a service called Smart Tuition to collect tuition payments. Smart Tuition offers the ability to pay online using a credit card, debit card, or automatic electronic transfer from your checking or savings account. You may also choose to be invoiced each month and mail a check or pay by phone. Tuition payments may also be made with cash at select 7-Eleven or Family Dollar Stores (please note there is a small fee to use this option).

Affordable Payment Plans

A non-refundable tuition deposit is required with enrollment or re-enrollment. The deposit is 10% of each student's tuition balance for domestic students and 20% for international students. The deposit will be applied to tuition payments unless the student does not attend Boston Trinity.

Boston Trinity offers three payment plans to fit with each family's needs:

Full Payment

Payment of the tuition balance must be paid by July 5.

Semester Payment

Under this plan, 60% of the tuition balance (after deposit) must be paid on or before July 5, and 40% must be paid on or before November 5.

Monthly Payment

With our monthly payment plan, tuition is paid in equal installments over 10 months beginning in July and ending in April.

Private Loans

Parents may obtain private K-12 education loans from outside lenders as long as the disbursements fall within Boston Trinity’s schedule of tuition payments. An example of an available loan program is Your Tuition Solution. See Brochure, or visit the website: yourtuitionsolution.com. Tel: (800) 920-9777
