2026-2027 Tuition + Fees
Our Approach
Chesterton Academy is committed to offering an outstanding high school education at an affordable cost to families.
We keep tuition as low as possible to bring a classical, Catholic education to every family, regardless of income.
Low Tuition
Our tuition is extremely low relative to other nearby private high schools, which charge $17,300 - $33,700 per student, per year.
Chesterton Academy tuition is half what other schools charge.
Financial Aid for ALL Students
Every student at Chesterton also receives scholarship money through the State of Florida's Step Up for Students program, which helps students attend any private school of their choice—including Chesterton Academy!
Chesterton students receive an average of $7,600 per year in scholarship money through Step Up.
Total Out of Pocket
It costs the school $18,594 to educate each student, yet we only charge $12,000 tuition per student. (The rest is provided by generous benefactors!)
After that reduction and the Step Up scholarship, the average family pays only $4,400 of the $18,000 it costs Chesterton to educate each child—a discount of 76%!
- $6,594 - benefactors/donations (35%)
- $7,600 - Step Up scholarship (41%)
- $4,400 - family out of pocket cost (24%)
- $18,594 - Total Cost
In the end, we never want money to be a limiting factor for enrollment. If you and your child desire to attend Chesterton Academy, please contact us and we will work with you.
