Our Commitment

We adhere to the principle that the primary responsibility for funding a student’s education lies with the family. We understand that each family has different financial means and therefore will pay a different percentage toward the full cost of educating a child at MSB. We will work with all families to ensure a fair and sustainable tuition model that holds true to our mission for dynamic, inclusive, and engaged MSB community.

Smart Aid - Tuition Setting

In order to determine your tuition rate, Blackbaud will collect your financial information to verify and make a recommendation to MSB. The Blackbaud Financial Application is due by February 15 for the upcoming school year. Your tuition rate does not determine your child’s acceptance into the school as enrollment management has many facets and requires many determining factors. The Blackbaud Financial application can be accessed here:

Your Commitment

Finding the right school is an investment in your child’s future. To complement financial responsibility, all current families are encouraged to attend school celebrations and events, participate through volunteerism and fundraisers, and contribute to the Annual Fund to the best of their ability.
