Tuition Overview

As one of the country's top boarding and day schools, we are proud of our independence from local, state, and federal governments.  This allows us to provide unparalleled opportunities to develop challenging, innovative, and creative educational programs. That independence, however, makes Cranbrook Schools completely dependent on tuition revenue and other revenue sources (endowment interest, annual giving, and auxiliary enterprises) to support the faculty and the broad range of programs that are offered. Like many independent schools, Cranbrook’s annual tuition covers only 85% of the cost of the education program currently afforded our students. The other revenue sources help to subsidize all students, including those who do not receive financial aid.

Cranbrook Schools seeks to attract a diverse and talented student body. To achieve that end, Cranbrook Schools is committed to providing financial assistance to qualified students whose families cannot afford the School's full charges. Last year Cranbrook Schools awarded more than $9,000,000 in financial aid, to about one third of the student body - one of the most generous financial aid programs among all private schools in Michigan.
