Tuition and Fees
Philadelphia Classical School tuition for the 2027-2028 school year is $17,900. 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. As a result, we are glad to offer generous scholarships and welcome families of all socio-economic backgrounds to apply.
PCS bases tuition on family income, with a minimum tuition of $2,500. 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 $105 per year. Upper School students incur a trip and materials fee of $600.
PCS Financial Aid
A third-party organization, FACTS, will help make this determination. FACTS applies standardized criteria to determine how much 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 available financial aid.
Families may apply for financial aid if their income is less than $160,000 with 1 child enrolled, less than $190,000 with 2 children enrolled, less than $220,000 with 3 children enrolled, and less than $250,000 with 4 children enrolled. While a percentage of the family’s gross income determines the baseline financial aid offer, other financial factors also inform the final decision.
Click the FACTS button to apply for financial aid. The application costs $45 per family.
Philadelphia Classical School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarships, and other school-administered programs.
