Affording a Knox Education

Investing in a Knox education means investing in an educational experience where students are known as individuals, challenged to reach their potential, and supported by a community that helps them belong. 

One of the first questions many families ask is, “Can we afford a Knox education?” That’s an important question, and we’re here to help you answer it.

Families are often surprised to learn that financial aid and flexible payment plans may make a Knox education possible for their family.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore or ready to apply, our Admissions Office is happy to help you understand your options.

An Investment Into Your Child's Future

Choosing an independent school is a significant investment. At Knox, tuition supports an educational experience built around meaningful relationships, personalized learning, and opportunities that help students thrive academically, personally, and socially.

Because Knox is intentionally small, students are known by name, challenged individually, and supported by teachers who understand their strengths, interests, and goals. That personalized approach shapes every student’s experience—from the classroom to college counseling, leadership opportunities, athletics, the arts, and residential life.
