Admissions
Affording Live Oak
We know that a Live Oak education is a significant investment. It is essential to our mission to create pathways to affording our tuition for families across the socioeconomic spectrum.
Annual Tuition
| Kindergarten–5th Grade: | $500 – $43,815 |
| 6th–8th Grade: | $500 – $44,395 |
Tuition includes lunch daily, books and educational materials, all school supplies, technology (iPads/laptops and accessories), outdoor education, field trips, laboratory fees, yearbooks, and athletic uniforms. Tuition does not include Extended Day Programs, but Extended Day costs are adjusted at the same percentage as tuition for families participating in our Adjusted Tuition Program.
Economic diversity is crucial to fostering a healthy school environment and enhances the students’ learning environment. Our Adjusted Tuition Program allows us to make a Live Oak education available to a wide range of families with a variety of economic circumstances. 25% of Live Oak families participate in our Adjusted Tuition Program.
Adjustments to tuition are based on assessment of financial need. Live Oak utilizes Clarity to assess a family’s ability to pay for independent education and ensures that the request for adjusted tuition is being treated objectively and professionally. Live Oak School's code for families is: 1555. Please note, each family will be asked to e-sign Form 4506-C, which will permit Clarity to receive tax returns directly from the IRS. If your family chooses not to sign, you will need to upload your tax returns with your application.
