Tuition and Fees

Most private schools require the full upcoming year’s tuition to be paid up-front in the spring as a non-refundable deposit. AHS is different, however, in that we allow month-to-month payments. Our tuition is also very different from comparable private schools, as our rates are 1/2 to 1/3 lower. Because all buildings and land are funded by generous private donors, and because we carry no debt, AHS tuition is half of what it would be otherwise.

Additional expenses may include, but are not limited to, uniforms, experiential learning courses, and available various extra-curricular activities that your child may elect to pursue. Extra-curricular offerings include after-school athletics and music programs. Extra-curricular programs often do have a participation fee associated with them that is designed to cover the costs of offering the program.

Seating status will not be granted until the June installment (25% of international tuition fee) has been received by the school. If the payment has not been received by June 1, accepted international students run the risk of being placed on a waiting list.

The remainder of the tuition obligation (75% of international tuition) is due no later than August 1. In cases of late enrollment, all tuition must be prepaid in full BEFORE the student can be admitted to class.
