• Q. What does the tuition at Justin-Siena cover?

  Tuition revenue covers all academic program budgets, salaries, healthcare, and retirement benefits for teachers, administrators, staff and coaches, and the majority of co-curricular programs such as the arts and athletics. Tuition also covers basic day-to-day maintenance and operations of our physical plant, and our technology program.
  
  

  As with most independent and private schools, tuition alone does not cover the full annual cost of operations. Additional funds are needed for such items like capital improvements, special projects, endowment growth, and program enhancements such as technology or upgrades to athletic and arts facilities. We also raise additional funds to assist in subsidizing portions of our co-curricular budgets such as athletic and the arts, and our transportation program, which transports students safely to and from school as well as to school activities and athletic contests

• Q. How is tuition assistance awarded?

  Justin-Siena contracts with FACTS Management, a third-party company that specializes in evaluating a family’s ability to pay tuition based on a variety of factors including family size, income, assets and net worth, number of children for whom the family pays tuition and other pertinent data.
  
  

  The School will review all FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment applications for tuition assistance and determine awards to be provided to each family based on the amount of resource funds available, the number of families who apply and each family’s relative need.
