T U I T I O N
Investing in your child's education is one of the most significant gifts you can provide. We believe every child deserves the highest quality learning environment and we have worked to keep tuition as low as possible to ensure a diverse and inclusive school community.
Above and Beyond A Traditional School Experience
Argo Navis School offers a range of benefits which are included in tuition:
1) Individualized Learning Plan for every student ages 3.5 and up. In traditional schools, every child learns the same thing at the same time. At Argo Navis, our teachers work intimately with every family and student to create a learning plan that is challenging and in-line with each child's development and interests.
2) Field trip and field studies costs include: theater tickets, concert tickets, sailing lessons, art workshops, museum exhibits, culinary arts tours and classes, nature experiences, math circles, weekly swimming... and the list continues! These workshops and classes are built into every student's curriculum.
3) Argo Navis field trip and field studies transportation costs are included in tuition. Argo Navis students travel often in our school vans and using public transportation. The costs of travel are extensive but imperative to experiential learning.
4) Vegetarian and organic breakfasts, lunches, and snacks are included in tuition and cooked by a chef on school grounds or provided by a catering company.
5) Before and after school care is included in your annual tuition.
6) School materials are included in school tuition. Argo Navis provides all books, technology, art supplies, writing materials, paper, etc. for each student.

Tuition Assistance
Our goal is to build a foundation to serve families from a diverse socio-economic background.
While we are actively working to continuously grow our Tuition Assistance program, we do provide some assistance based upon financial hardship.
To submit a request for Tuition Assistance, we ask families to register through our FAST program which is used to determine specific financial needs for each family. The FAST system is very user-friendly and easy to navigate, though the application process itself can take up to 45 minutes to complete and requires previous tax documentation for your household. There is a one-time application fee of $53 (per school year). *Completing the application does not guarantee qualification for Tuition Assistance.
Please contact the admissions office for more information on applying for Tuition Assistance through FAST: admissions@theargoschool.com
