Tuition + Financial Aid
Did you know? 35% of Academy students receive demonstrated financial aid.
At Fryeburg Academy, we are committed to offering students an excellent educational experience both in and outside the classroom. Understanding that independent school education is a significant financial commitment, we strive to make attendance affordable. We offer generous financial aid and merit scholarships for students from around the world and special pricing for local families from New England. We are pleased to introduce our new Tuition Lock Program, a stable and reliable solution for managing future tuition costs. With this program, returning boarding families don't need to worry about price increases in subsequent years. We are also committed to transparency in fees, with most costs associated with the school year included in our tuition contract.
