We understand and appreciate the financial commitment families undertake in deciding to send their daughters to Greenwich Academy. And although paying for education is first and foremost the responsibility of a family, we devote significant funds each year to a financial aid budget that helps assist families. In turn, our school community benefits by attracting gifted students who otherwise would not have been able to attend.

To help us assess objectively what a family is able to contribute to its student(‘s) education expenses, we use School and Student Services (SSS By NAIS) as a trusted third party. The SSS analysis of a family's "Estimated Family Contribution (EFC)" is a critical component of our financial aid decision. However, it is just a start. To make our final financial aid award decisions, we use the SSS figures as the baseline for our own additional review, taking into consideration our total financial aid budget, other information we may have collected, our school’s policies and priorities and the needs of our entire applicant pool. Due to circumstances like these, and others, our school may ask a family to contribute more or less to tuition than what is estimated on the SSS Family Report.
