Admissions and Financial Aid

St. Sebastian’s seeks to provide each prospective family ample opportunity to develop a genuine understanding of the School and its unique mission. During the fall prior to the year for which the student wishes to enroll, families interested in learning more about the School should contact the Admissions Office for an updated catalog and application.

APPLYING Information on applying and a detailed application timeline are available on the School website or by calling the Admissions Office. All applicants are required to schedule a personal campus tour and interview, which is conducted by a member of the faculty. Interviews are scheduled during regular School hours from October through January. Appointments should be made weeks in advance. Open House and other important dates are included in the School calendar.

The application deadline is February 1.

COST OF ATTENDANCE 2021-2022 The total of cost of attendance for the 2021-2022 school year is $54,110. On average, additional book expenses are about $750. The School organizes a used book sale to help defray the cost of books.

An enrollment deposit is required of accepted families to reserve a place in the class for the next academic year. This amount is applied to the tuition, the remainder of which can be paid in two installments, on August 1 and December 1. Extended payment plans administered by outside agencies are available to enable families to spread out their payments, usually over a period of eight to ten months.

FINANCIAL AID As a school, St. Sebastian’s makes a strong commitment to ensuring that no student is denied a place simply due to his family’s financial means. Students are encouraged to apply for admission regardless of their family’s ability to meet the full cost of attendance. Over the past five years, 30% of the student body has received financial assistance from the School. The School awards financial aid only to those qualified applicants who exhibit demonstrated financial need.

To apply for financial aid consideration, families must complete and submit the Parents’ Financial Statement of the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) no later than February 1. Full instructions on completing the financial aid application are available upon request in the Admissions Office or at www.solutionsbysss.com.

St. Sebastian’s School does not discriminate on the basis of religion, race, or ethnic origin in the administration of its admissions, financial aid, or educational policies.
