Tuition & Fees
2026-2027 Tuition and Fees
The Mandelstam School is a fully independent, tuition-funded institution. We do not accept state-sponsored scholarship programs, including Step Up for Students or FTC scholarships. This allows us to maintain full independence in designing and delivering a curriculum that reflects our unique educational philosophy.
We offer three tuition payment plans to meet your family's needs.
A non-refundable enrollment deposit is required to secure your child’s place and will be applied toward the total tuition.
Save-the-Seat Enrollment Deposits
-
First child: $3,000

Second & third child: $2,500 each
All deposits and tuition will be invoiced and paid electronically through FACTS Tuition Management. Please note if you select to pay through credit card, there will be a 2.95% processing fee per transaction. Upon enrollment, parents/guardians understand and agree that the student is enrolled for the entire school year and the parents/guardians are liable for the entire year's tuition fees.
