What is Indexed Tuition?

The cost of an independent school shouldn't be one fixed number that fits no one. Indexed Tuition changes that.

Instead of a single price, families pay a tuition tailored to their income and financial picture. It's a straightforward way to open the door wider so more families can give their children a Highland education without feeling priced out before they begin.

To keep the process fair and objective, we partner with Clarity, a trusted third-party resource that helps us assess what each family can reasonably contribute toward educational expenses. Those calculations form the baseline for our Indexed Tuition decisions.

A few things worth knowing:
  • Admission and Indexed Tuition are separate processes. They're decided at the same time, but evaluated independently.

  • You'll hear on the same schedule. Tuition determinations arrive alongside admission decision letters.

  • It's confidential and transparent. Our goal is to give you a clear view of the investment, so you can plan with confidence and sustain your child's enrollment year after year.
