Tuition and Fees
Philadelphia Classical School tuition for the 2025-2026 school year is $16,900 per year. Philadelphia Classical School is committed to providing an affordable education for a wide range of families, therefore PCS partners with regional scholarship organizations and programs to help families bridge the gap between what they can afford and what it costs. Because of this, we are able to offer a number of generous scholarships and welcome families of all socio-economic backgrounds to apply.
PCS bases tuition on family income with a minimum tuition set at $2000. All financial aid is based on family need, the number of requests received, and the amount of financial aid funds that are available for a given school year. Lower School students incur a trip fee of $95 per year. Upper School students incur a trip and materials fee of $450.
PCS Financial Aid
A third party organization, FACTS, will be used to help make this determination. FACTS applies standardized criteria to determine what amount of aid each family needs to pay for one year’s tuition. Philadelphia Classical School’s financial aid committee uses information from the FACTS process to allocate the amount of financial aid available.
Families may apply for financial aid if their income is less than $160,000 with 1 child, less than $185,000 with 2 children, and less than $210,000 with three children. Though a percentage of the family’s gross income is used to determine the baseline amount of financial aid that a family could receive, other financial considerations are factors in the final decision as well.

Philadelphia Classical School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarships, and other school administered programs.
