Ravenscroft offers its families several payment options each year:

One Payment: Tuition is due in full each August.

Two Payments: 60% of tuition is due in August and 40% of tuition is due in December.

Ravenscroft is pleased to introduce a new, online and more convenient payment system — VC Pay, a component of Veracross. VC Pay allows our families the option to pay their re-enrollment deposit, tuition, incidental fees and Extended Day charges using any credit card or e-checks (ACH) starting with the 2020-21 school year. Learn more about VC pay here. 

Ravenscroft is committed to providing an excellent educational experience to qualified candidates. Affordability is a significant consideration for any family considering an independent school education. Ravenscroft is committed to offering grant-based financial aid to families with demonstrated financial need.

While financial assistance is available to qualifying families, it is our policy and expectation that everyone attending Ravenscroft share in the financial responsibility of the cost of education.

Priority for financial aid is given to families completing the process within the stated deadlines. It is important to note that a delay in completing the financial aid application will affect a family's consideration for aid.

In addition to financial aid, Ravenscroft offers a variety of merit-based scholarships as noted below.
