Tuition & Financial Aid

At Crossroads, we realize that choosing an independent school is a significant financial commitment. We believe that all of our students benefit from the diversity of identity, experience, and perspective that comprise our community. Our internally-funded financial aid program contributes to the promise and potential of our students. As a school in the heart of the city of St. Louis, we strive to provide access to those in our region who would not have the opportunity to attend Crossroads without assistance.

• $26,280 Upper School
• $25,450 Middle School

An estimated additional $400 should cover the cost of books and other school expenses. Crossroads tuition now covers many previously separate costs such as middle school and freshman camping trips, field trips, art supplies, AP test fees, and one ACT test.

The application process for admission is need blind. If you wish to apply for financial aid, please complete the online application through FACTS. Crossroads only accepts financial information through FACTS. If you do not have access to a computer, please contact the Admissions Office to make an appointment to use the computer lab at school.

Financial Aid applications for new students applying for admission for the 2019-2020 school year are due when applications are submitted. Upon acceptance, financial aid awards will be determined and you will be notified if you’ve received an award.

Financial Aid applications for current families requesting aid for the 2019-2020 school year are due on Thursday, December 12, 2019. Students who are re-enrolling will receive notification by mail with award determinations in early January.

A non-refundable first tuition payment of 10% of tuition is due with a signed contract in order to secure a spot for your child for the 2019-2020 school year.

Various payment options are available through FACTS. A brochure for FACTS will accompany your contract.

Beyond tuition, Crossroads College Prep’s programs are supported by a vibrant culture of giving. Every year, parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the school participate in Annual Giving, which bridges the gap between tuition and actual program costs, helping to keep tuition competitive and the school’s programs strong. Annual gifts support activities that are not covered by tuition, including athletics, theater, chess, and music, to name a few. Our goal for Annual Giving is 100% participation among families. It’s not the size of the gift—your participation is your greatest gift.
