A Middlesex education is both a tremendous opportunity and a deep investment in your child’s future.
Middlesex strives to make our education affordable to all qualified applicants, regardless of a family’s ability to finance such an investment without assistance. For instructions on how to apply for financial aid, check out the Financial Aid section below.
Tuition for 2024-25 is $61,270 for day and $75,475 for boarding. There are no additional fees beyond tuition. The cost of books totals an estimated $1,000 per year. Families will likely incur other optional expenses, such as spending money for the school grill and book store, and such expenses vary. International students must purchase health insurance for approximately $3,000 per year.
Middlesex offers financial grants to families based on their demonstrated financial need. In the 2024-25 year, Middlesex offered over $7.7 million dollars in aid to 32% of our student body, with an average grant of $56,731. The School is committed to socioeconomic diversity and offers awards of financial aid to families with a wide range of incomes. See the table below for financial aid award data for this year. Income is just one determinant of need. Each family’s particular financial circumstances—including income, expenses, assets, liabilities, family size, and number of students attending tuition-charging schools through the undergraduate level—are carefully weighed.

We encourage all families to apply for financial aid if they believe they will need any level of financial support during their child’s tenure at Middlesex. If a family does not apply for aid or qualify for aid upon admission, it is unlikely that the family will receive an aid award in subsequent years, unless there is a significant change in that family’s financial circumstances. We do our best to admit and fund a wide variety of students from a diversity of backgrounds. Although priority is given to US Citizens, each year we do provide financial aid to a small number of International students.
If you have any questions, please contact our Financial Aid Team: Leah Silvey, Sam Maher, or Catherine Reilly: lsilvey@mxschool.edu, smaher@mxschool.edu, creilly@mxschool.edu.
How to Apply for Financial Aid
Middlesex uses Clarity to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application. Returning families must reapply for financial aid each year; however, barring any significant changes in their financial profile, families can expect approximately the same award from year-to-year. If a family does not apply for aid or qualify for aid upon admission, it is unlikely that the family will receive an aid award in subsequent years, unless there is a significant change in that family’s financial circumstances. In the case of divorce, Middlesex requires that both parents file financial aid forms.
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 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 $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge.
If you need support during the process of completing your application, there is in-app support available through the “Help” button in the bottom left of the screen, as well as email and phone support at support@claritytuition.com or 206-210-3752, in both English and Spanish. The application itself is also fully translated into Spanish.
