Paying the balance

Independent schools set their own need-based aid. Ask whether the school counts the EFA before or after it calculates aid. That order can change your balance by thousands of dollars.

Questions to ask the school

1. How do you bill EFA families: directly through ClassWallet each quarter, or do we pay and get reimbursed?
2. What is the full cost for my child's grade, including registration, books, uniforms and fees, and what's left after the $7,208 account?
3. Which discounts and aid apply on top of the account?
4. Which nationally norm-referenced test do you give, and will you share my child's results?
