What that pays for
Five to one
Five students to every teacher. The single most expensive thing about Knox, and the reason everything else works.
Teaching built around your child
Placement by readiness, subject by subject, adjusted whenever a child moves. That takes time no large school can afford.
Expeditions and deep dives
Catalina, Idyllwild, Yosemite, Washington, and electives taught by working experts.
A teacher who knows them
Our classrooms loop, so the same teachers know a child across grades rather than for a single year.
Tuition assistance
We believe a Knox education should be within reach of the families it is right for. Families carry the primary responsibility for funding their child’s education, and need-based tuition assistance exists to close the distance when that responsibility outruns what a family can carry alone. Approximately 20% of Knox families receive a need-based award. Admission comes first. We decide whether Knox is the right place for your child before we look at your family’s finances, and applying for assistance has no bearing on whether your child is admitted.
If Knox feels right for your child, talk to us about cost before you rule it out. That conversation is part of what we do.
How to apply
Families apply for tuition assistance during the admissions process, alongside the application. Awards are finalized once a child has been offered admission.
