Fees

Application Fee: $100

This fee is payable online at the end of your application process.

Acceptance Fee: $1500

The Acceptance Fee is a one-time, non-refundable payment due when a student accepts an offer of admission. The Acceptance Fee is discounted to $750 for siblings, if the first child enrolled at MSD is still at MSD or if the first child has graduated from 6th grade at MSD, and so long as the parents’ account with the school is in good standing. The Initial Acceptance Fee for the 3-day Toddler class is $750. The second and final installment of $750 is due when your child subsequently enrolls in a 5-day program (for instance, as an Early Childhood student).

Extended Care

After School Care Fee: $1010 - $8810 annually

After school care is available through 6:00pm for children enrolled in Early Childhood, Kindergarten, and Elementary levels. Annual costs depend on the age level, number of days per week and hours per day selected. For instance, $1010 is the cost for care between 12:00 and 3:00 two days a week for a Kindergarten or Elementary student, and $8810 is the cost for care between 12:00 and 6:00 five days a week for a child in the Early Childhood program.

Before School Care Fee: $760 annually*

This fee is for care beginning from 7:45 a.m. for all 5-day programs.

* 3-day Toddler Before School Care is $450 annually.

How to Apply for Financial Aid

MSD encourages families to apply for financial aid. Applicants’ information is processed and standardized by Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS), so that we can make equitable comparisons of need. We encourage you to fill out the TADS forms online, as this speeds the process. Go to their website and there is an Application Wizard to help you, and additional help at support@tads.com and toll-free at 1-800-344-8328. TADS will require that you submit to them some supporting documentation.

MSD’s Partner Code: 200872

If you are applying for a Toddler (15 months – 3 years old) child in the 5-day (morning-only OR all-day) class, please enter grade as grade 7, NOT Preschool. We aren't able to offer financial aid for our Infant Program.

Enter each child who attends MSD using our school code, as well as children for whom you pay tuition at another school or college, all on one application. In cases where divorced, separated, or never married parents are both contributing to the support of the child, both must fill in an application, or fill it in jointly. If tuition is paid all or in part by someone else (e.g. grandparent), these payments MUST be reported on the application in the section for Contributions in Education.

All award decisions are made by MSD. You will receive notice about your award from MSD, not TADS. Any awards of financial aid will be announced as a family receives their admission materials or re-enrollment materials. The Tuition Agreements will reflect tuition due after any awards have been applied.
