Affording a CRS Education
Parents recognize the importance of the early childhood, elementary, and middle school years in creating an intellectual and social-emotional foundation that will enable children to achieve success throughout their lives. CRS families appreciate the value of the small classes, individual attention, academic excellence, and emphasis on joy and discovery that Charles River School offers. A CRS education is an investment in a child’s future.
Nonetheless, there is no question that independent school education is costly. CRS is committed to making its education affordable to families from a wide economic range. Enrolling a talented and diverse student body – bright children with a variety of experiences and backgrounds – is central to our mission. We allocate funds to help qualified families defray some of the cost of a CRS education; currently, approximately 20% of our students receive financial aid.
Charles River School uses Clarity to process financial aid applications. Parents or guardians should complete the online application by February 1.
For more information about Clarity, please feel welcome to attend a family information session.
