Flexible Tuition

A private school education is an investment in your child’s future. We understand that affording independent school tuition in addition to the cost of living in the Bay Area can be challenging. We are committed to making Ventana accessible to as many families from a broad range of economic circumstances as possible by offering flexible tuition. In the 2023-2024 school year, 25% of Ventana students benefited from flexible tuition. We believe that no family should be deterred from applying based on the cost of full tuition. If the cost of full tuition presents an obstacle, we encourage you to apply for flexible tuition even if you think you may not qualify.

Ventana school uses the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts. To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The deadline for completing the flexible tuition application including relevant supplemental documents is Jan 22, 2025.

If you need support during the process of completing your application, Clarity offers email and phone support at support@clarityapp.com or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish. Clarity hosts several Application Info Webinars for families. During the live session, we will go over some key aspects of the application, things to look out for, materials to gather, how to get help, how the tax verification process works, and a robust Q&A.
