Tuition and Fee Information
For Browne, equity is more than a sentiment–it’s a mission. Our tuition model has been structured to provide a quality private education for as many families as possible. To learn more about our commitment to equity and diversity, view our DEIB page.
Browne Academy was founded as an affordable, integrated school underpinned by our core value of community. We stay true to this mission by having a flat rate tuition structure. Tuition includes costs related to employing highly qualified teachers; curriculum purchases, classroom supplies, providing educationally relevant field trips; and maintaining our beautiful campus. Tuition also supports technology at each grade level, including the use of an Apple MacBook Pro in the Middle School that the students retain at graduation.
Browne Academy strives to make life easier for busy families. We know the importance of an educational environment for young children as a foundation for future academic success. We have found, however, that many families understand the importance of early education and would love to attend Browne, but struggle to decide between a traditional school calendar and the need for 12-month care. Therefore, those enrolled Preschool 3 and Junior Kindergarten families who pay for Aftercare until 6:00 PM for the school year will be eligible to attend eight weeks of the next Browne Summer Camp session (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM) at no additional cost. We hope this offer eases some of the year-round logistical and financial challenges for families of our youngest students.
