Tuition, Financial Aid, and Scholarships: Investing in a SEM Education
A SEM education is an investment in your child’s future. At SEM, we value and foster choice, access, and empowerment in our school, and we aim for our admissions and financial aid application processes to reflect the same. We strive to help every qualified applicant afford a SEM education and to ensure families have all the information they need to make an informed decision when weighing high school options.
85% of SEM students receive some level of financial aid and/or merit based scholarships.
Additional details, including tuition and steps for applying for financial aid and scholarships, are detailed below. No matter your stage in the admission process, we encourage you to speak with Anne Timms, our Director of Admissions, or Beth Onofry, our Assistant Director of Admissions, about affording SEM.
