Tuition

 Your child's education is an investment that often requires careful financial planning, therefore we offer payment plans and need-based financial aid.

Pre-kindergarten $13,837
Kindergarten $15,803

Payment Plans

*Semester, 9-Month, and 12-Month payment plans are subject to finance charges.

Financial Aid

Manzano Day School offers financial aid based on demonstrated need and available funds. The maximum award covers 50% of the total tuition. Manzano Day School partners with School and Student Services (SSS) to determine a family’s financial need. There is a financial aid application process that is separate from the admission process. Families are encouraged to discuss this opportunity with the Director of Admission and Financial Aid, Emily Villegas.

Financial Aid 2024 - 2025
  • This year, we will be issuing financial aid awards at the same time as the (re)enrollment contract. Therefore, we will have an earlier deadline for financial aid applications and require 2022 documents (1040 and W2). If you applied for financial aid for the 2023-2024 school year, and uploaded the required documents to the parent portal, then those documents will carry over to the 2024-2025 financial aid year.
     
  • For returning students, the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) for the 2024–2025 academic year must be completed and submitted by the deadline: December 1, 2023
     
  • For new students applying for admission to Manzano Day School in the early and general applicant pools, the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) for the 2024–2025 academic year must be completed and submitted by the deadline: December 1, 2023. Subsequent applications will be considered on a rolling basis and as financial aid funds are available.

The 2024-2025 financial aid application(including the Wings scholarship application) is available October 1, 2023. If interested in Wings, please contact the Admission Office for the application.

New and returning families are required to apply by December 1 in order to be considered in the first round of consideration; late applications from returning families may not receive a full award, depending on financial aid funds available at the time of application. New families whose children apply for admission to Manzano Day School the early and general admission pool deadlines are encouraged to apply for financial aid as soon as possible. Financial aid is awarded based on a family's demonstrated need and funds available.
