How to afford private school in Denver

Average private school tuition in the metro runs $8,000-14,000 per year. Here is how real families close that gap.

Start with the school's own aid

Ask every school for their financial aid application before you decide you can't afford it. Most award 10-50% to a large share of families.

Layer an outside scholarship

ACE for income-qualified families, Seeds of Hope at Catholic schools, Parents Challenge for flexibility, and our partner fund for everyone else.

Plan for the 2027 federal scholarship

Scholarship Granting Organizations begin awarding for the 2027-28 school year. Get on their lists now.

Consider a lower-cost model

Church schools, hybrid academies, and microschools often charge $3,000-6,000 — a fraction of a full private school — and qualify for the same funding.
