Cost Descriptions
- Tuition includes the cost of academic instruction, meals, residence for boarding students, and laboratory fees.
- * Tuition Refund Insurance is required of all students to help insure tuition fees in the event of a student's withdrawal, absence, dismissal, or separation from the school according to the terms of the policy. The cost of this insurance is 3.2% of the student's tuition fees, including ESOL fees.
- A $150 refundable damage deposit (new students only).
- The Putney School requires a credit card link to the student's school-store account to establish a $500 minimum balance. All student charges associated with student activities will be billed through the student's school store account. Once the account balance drops below $150, the linked credit card will be charged an amount sufficient to reestablish the $500 balance.
- This is an estimate for textbooks and graphing calculators.
- Students are allowed a maximum of $15 in cash per week from their student account. Should they need to purchase an expensive item, parents may contact the school to make arrangements.
- ** At a minimum, parents should expect travel arrangements for students to and from school at the beginning and end of the year, and for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks.
- Students are required to have health insurance that is accepted in Vermont. International students are required to purchase the insurance plan accepted by the school's Health Service Office.
- International student emergency deposit.
- Students enrolled in courses offered in English for Speakers of Other Languages.
- This program fee covers regular scheduled appointments with a member of the Learning Center staff or a private tutor.
