Tuition and Fees

Current Tuition Rate
The current 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, 2023-2024 twelve month tuition from pre-primary through middle school is $21,000, or $1,750 monthly. Because of Central’s low teacher/infant and toddler ratios thier tuition is $24,000, or $2,000 monthly.  Several payment schedules and some discounts may be available to your familie. In general, there is an annual increase in tuition/fees aligned with cost of living increases. Central uses any increase to increase our staff salaries and cover increased overhead.  Because Central is currently operating on an extended enrolled family waiting list, it is possible that a tuition increase may have been put in place by the time a child is offered a contract.  We ask enrolling families to please check their contract for this amount.  *Sibling discounts may apply.
