Key Role of the Family

Parental involvement is crucial to both the students’ and school’s success. The school staff works closely with parents to ensure that each student’s educational needs are being addressed. Limits on homework and a family-friendly atmosphere for school activities reinforce the centrality of the family.

Economic and Cultural Diversity

The City School community values economic and cultural diversity; therefore, while many families will pay full tuition for their children, numerous scholarship opportunities are available based on financial need. Some families need almost full scholarships, but everyone will pay something.

City School will not expect tuition revenues to cover tuition assistance but will aggressively seek scholarship donors and grants sponsors.

Recognition of individual talents and needs

A City School education encourages, challenges, and instills a love of learning in students of a wide range of ability levels. A flexible approach to education makes City School a suitable place for students with a variety of learning styles.
