Tuition and Affordability
Proud to be Dedicated to Affordability
We are proud to offer personalized approaches to help families manage tuition. Our goal is to ensure that every qualified student has the opportunity to attend Rochelle Zell.
Affordability by the numbers:
- Approximately 60% of students benefit from our Affordability Program.
- Tuition for the 2026-2027 school year is $37,400 plus additional fees for books/ lab materials, activities, security, and the Parent Organization, as well as optional fees for athletics programs and travel experiences.
- All families are able to elect a payment plan based on their needs, either in one, two, or ten payments scheduled during the year.
- Affordability awards range from approximately $2,000 to $30,000 per student for the 2025-2026 school year.
- Depending on the factors listed below, families with an income of up to $400,000 may qualify for our Affordability Program.
An optional first step in our process is an initial conversation with Jim Baumstark, our Director of Finance and Operations, about affordability and family circumstances.
All families seeking to participate in the Affordability Program are required to complete our application through the FACTS system. Affordability Program applications are due by January 15, 2027 for the 2027-2028 school year. Affordability Program awards will be released on Friday February 26, 2027.
