Our Indexed Tuition Model

At Terra Schools, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and financially accessible school community. For this reason, Terra offers an Indexed Tuition model that helps align tuition with each family’s individual financial circumstances.

​

Indexed Tuition is designed to make a Terra education attainable for a wide range of families by considering a holistic view of a family’s financial profile, including income, assets, expenses, and obligations. By matching tuition levels more closely to a family’s ability to contribute, this model supports economic diversity and strengthens our inclusive school community.

​

Why Indexed Tuition?

Indexed Tuition exists to provide families with a clear, thoughtful, and equitable approach to tuition. It allows for consistency and transparency in how tuition levels are determined, while supporting long-term financial planning for both families and the school. Most importantly, it reflects Terra’s belief that a vibrant learning environment is enriched when families from diverse economic backgrounds are able to participate.

​

How It Works

Tuition levels are determined through a comprehensive review of financial information submitted via the Clarity Application. This process takes into account income, assets, expenses, and debts to place families within an indexed tuition ranges that start from $2,000.00 to the full amount. Indexed Tuition is available across all Terra Schools programs and supports our ongoing commitment to accessibility, equity, and inclusion.
