Flexible Tuition

Girls with high academic potential belong at Hathaway Brown! An HB education empowers girls with diverse experiences from communities across Northeast Ohio.

Flexible tuition allows each K-12 family to invest in their daughter's education with tuition that best fits their finances.

While every family is expected to contribute to the cost of tuition and fees, and to support the community to the extent individual family circumstances allow, Hathaway Brown School does not expect all families to pay tuition at the same level.

The Process

To understand a family's finances, the Parent's Financial Statement (PFS) must be completed through School and Student Services (SSS).

The PFS asks for information such as family size, total income, savings, investments; other assets such as home equity, indebtedness, medical and dental expenses, and any unusual expenses. Families are required to submit copies of their recent tax forms to SSS. These forms, W2, 1099, and Federal 1040 forms, are used to verify information on the PFS. Learn more.
