Indexed Tuition (K-8)

A commitment to inclusion is an essential element of Odyssey Day School’s mission, educational philosophy, and school culture. Diversity enriches the educational experience for all students and families, and participation of a wide range of families is critical to the health of the school. Among our families are those who can afford tuition at the top of the index and whose philanthropic generosity provides a vital component of annual operating expenses. There are also families who manage to pay tuition at the highest level only by making substantial sacrifice, those who are able to afford only minimal tuition, and others across the full spectrum in between.

Because Odyssey is determined to make our education affordable to families from a wide range of economic backgrounds, tuition is determined on a sliding scale that takes into account family income and other assets, a method known as indexed tuition.

The school encourages families to discuss indexed tuition with Margaret Douglas, Director of Admissions and the Academic Program, or Lori Conway, Head of School, if they have concerns about their ability to afford tuition at the top of the range. While every family is expected to contribute to the cost of tuition and fees and to support the community to the extent individual family circumstances permit, the school will make every effort to keep tuition within reach of all of the families in our community.

EEC Vouchers (Infants-Kindergarten)

Tuition assistance is not available via indexed tuition for Infants through the Pre-Kindergarten year. However, tuition assistance is available for these age groups through vouchers. Odyssey Day School accepts Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) vouchers. EEC vouchers are provided through the Child Care Circuit (CCC) for students in our Early Childhood Program, Infants through Kindergarten. If you are interested in applying for a voucher, please contact CCC at (877) 823-2273.
