Tuition and Affordability

This is learning for their world and their life.

Confidence, creativity and character are some of the most important qualities in life. By the time our students graduate they have built a foundation of soft skills from which they can launch into success at any high school, private school, college and career. An Old Trail education truly changes lives.

A large part of our unparalleled education is our commitment to affordability. We believe the fact that our students come from many different communities and family and economic backgrounds contributes to the experience of all Old Trail students.

Old Trail is the stage that set me up for almost all of my future educational and social endeavors; both the successes and challenges. The strong values placed around community and creative thinking at OTS have helped fundamentally shape my personal and professional life.

With a 8:1 student–teacher ratio, Old Trail gives your child more individual attention than some of the best public schools around, which often have student–teacher ratios well over 15:1.

Old Trail spends twice as much per student as the highest-ranking public schools in our area.

Research shows the most impactful investment parents can make in their child’s education is in their earliest years of development.

Tuition Refund Plan

All families enter a contract with a school whereby they are financially obligated to pay the full annual tuition for their child to attend the school, regardless of withdrawal for any reason. The Tuition Refund Plan provides exceptional coverage for families who cannot or do not wish to be exposed to the possible loss of tuition payments.

Similar to insurance, this third-party plan is designed to give Old Trail parents peace of mind by refunding a portion of the unused annual tuition and insured fees should a covered withdrawal arise.

Old Trail provided the educational foundation for my children's intellectual development, their character as adults, their open-mindedness and curiosity about the world, their understanding of their role as citizens of the US and of the world, and their subsequent success in life. Old Trail provided the education to my children that I wish for all children.
