Our Individualized Affordable Tuition Process

New applicant families and current Princeton Academy families are asked to apply for Individualized Affordable Tuition using Clarity. Recommendations from Clarity are used by the Princeton Academy Affordability Committee to customize each family's tuition.
 

  • By January 14, 2023, current Princeton Academy families must complete the Clarity online application

  • By January 31, 2023, applicant families must submit the Individualized Affordable Tuition Application through Clarity. To get started, please go to the Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $55 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge.
