Financial Assistance
Every year CA awards over $1.8 million in financial aid grants ranging from $1,000 to the cost of full tuition and fees. Considered gifts that do not have to be repaid, our grants are made based on demonstrated need—the difference between what your family can pay and the actual cost of your expenses.
Once accepted for admission, we consider your family’s financial need and the availability of school funds to determine the amount of aid that we can offer. (Don’t worry, we keep all your financial information and your aid status strictly confidential.)
While financial aid is awarded on a year-to-year basis (you’ll need to reapply for financial assistance every year), we are committed to supporting you through graduation provided there is ongoing demonstrated need.
For families new to CA, the deadline for financial aid applications is January 15, 2021.
Middle School Extended Day Program
Parents can’t pick you up, right at dismissal? No problem. Our extended day program has you covered. We offer quality, supervised care between 3:10 pm and 6:00 pm for grades six through eight.
Your parents can finish up their work while you complete homework (except on Fridays—that’s movie day!), engage in fun art projects, play sports, or just hang out with your peers. No hangry students allowed: snacks and drinks are provided.
Available all full days that CA is open for classes, the program offers flexible options for full, partial, and emergency use.
Cost
Full use: $18/day (no refunds for unused days)
Partial use: $21/day
Hourly use: $9
Dining
No more waking up at dawn to make the same tired old sandwich. All CA students participate in our dining program. You’ll enjoy real, cooked-from-scratch, delicious seasonal cuisine (we’re not talking standard cafeteria fare). SAGE’s registered dieticians review and approve each menu to ensure that it offers a wide variety of nutritious choices that meet an array of dietary needs (vegan? gluten or dairy-free? No problem).
Cost
$1,050/ year
Student Activity Fee
One flat fee. Countless extra-curricular opportunities. From offsetting special event costs to covering immersive overnight class trips, engaging field trips, our award-winning yearbook, and more, our annual student activity fee takes the guesswork out of budgeting for activities (and it’s a bargain for what you get in return, we promise).
Cost
$495/year
