Payment Plans: HSL Academy automatically provides a standard 10-payment schedule (covering the full annual tuition) to all admitted students. The 10-payment plan consists of the deposit (due upon enrollment) plus 9 monthly payments due August through April on the 5th of each month. Other payment plans can be arranged through the Director of Admissions, Suzanne Rezelman.

Financial Aid: Need-based financial aid is available to all students applying to HSL Academy. Over 90% of our students receive financial aid in the form of tuition reduction. To apply for financial aid during the admission process, contact our Director of Admissions, Suzanne Rezelman, at suzanne.rezelman@gmail.com

Tuition Guarantee: For all students whose tuition accounts are in good standing, tuition will not be raised while they are enrolled at HSL Academy. The annual tuition due will continue at the rate at which they were initially admitted (including families who are receiving a financial aid reduction), even if it is raised for new students at some later date.

No Annual Contract Required: If a student has to withdraw from HSL Academy mid-year, tuition payments must be current through the withdrawal date, but no payments due after the withdrawal date will be collected.

Change in Family Circumstances: Families who experience a change in circumstances while their student is enrolled are welcome to discuss financial aid opportunities and/or changes in payment schedules with the Director of Admissions, Suzanne Rezelman.

Additional Charges / Fees: All textbooks and classroom materials are provided for students at no additional cost. Throughout the year, there may be special events (prom, etc) that require an attendance fee, and there is a graduation fee for high school seniors (to cover robes and diploma). Fun Fridays and any other regular social events are included with tuition and require no additional fees.

Refunds: No refunds are given on deposit or tuition payments (including pre-paid tuition).
