If you are interested in applying for the 2025-26 school year, please reach out to admissions@trilliumacademy.org as soon as possible.

Tuition

Tuition is $48,880 for the 2025-26 school year. For students entering mid-year, tuition is pro-rated according to the month of enrollment.

Financial Aid

Currently, about 14% of the students at Trillium are benefiting from financial aid, and we are dedicated to exploring ways to offer more aid and resources for families to afford tuition.

We use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need, based on the information that families share in the application. This includes assets, income, expenses, and debts. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. 

The deadline for completing the 2026-27 financial aid application, including relevant supplemental documents, is January 15, 2026. If approved for aid, families must sign the enrollment contract and agree to their award before a student can begin classes.

Recipients must reapply for financial aid annually to remain eligible for future aid.
