Tuition and Affordability

Investing in Your Student's Future

Choosing a private education for your child is a significant investment, and we appreciate the thought and care families bring to that decision. At Maranatha, we want families to understand not only the cost of tuition, but also the resources available to help make a Maranatha education possible.

While every family is expected to contribute toward tuition, Maranatha is pleased to offer need-based tuition assistance and merit scholarships each year, made possible through the generosity of families, alumni, community members, and private donors. These resources help students from a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds experience the opportunities, programs, and community Maranatha offers.

We invite you to explore the tuition, assistance opportunities, scholarships, and flexible payment options available to your family below.

Tuition at a Glance

2026-27 Annual Tuition: $29,200


The published tuition rate is the starting point. Depending on your family's circumstances and your student's eligibility, your actual tuition may be reduced through need-based tuition assistance, merit scholarships, or sibling discounts.
