Affordability and Flexible Tuition

Providing Access to the Berwick Experience

Flexible Tuition at Berwick Academy highlights our partnership with families throughout the Seacoast and beyond. Our goal is to ensure that any family who would benefit from a Berwick education will not allow cost to be a barrier to considering Berwick. This approach to affordability is an empowering way for families to explore a tuition level that reflects their financial circumstances. Even a small amount of tuition reduction can make a significant difference.  
 
Berwick is an inclusive community, and we recognize the significant contributions all families make to afford a Berwick education. The Flexible Tuition program at Berwick includes an individualized approach to determining affordable tuition for families. Flexible Tuition creates accessibility for families representing a wide variety of income levels: families with incomes ranging from $20,000 to $250,000+ are enrolled through Flexible Tuition. All families are asked to financially contribute to their child’s experience at Berwick Academy.
