Affording University Cooperative School

A family’s investment in elementary education shapes a child’s future long beyond their early years. Choosing an independent school is a major financial decision, and since its founding, University Cooperative School has valued socioeconomic diversity and prioritized tuition assistance to keep the school accessible.

Tuition

Tuition is set annually by the Board of Directors. In determining school tuition and fees, the Board works to maintain affordability, fund exciting new initiatives, and support our extraordinary faculty and staff. You can expect a typical tuition increase of approximately 6-8% each year, depending on the needs of the school.
