Tuition & Fees


At the British School of Boston we do not believe that our families should have any financial surprises during the course of the school year. All of our income comes from our fees and we do not ask for donations or fundraising. Additional costs we anticipate that you will incur are for the school uniform and for class trips/special events, which typically occur once every six weeks and are optional. There is of course a fee charged if you elect to use our After school care programme. Unfortunately we are unable to provide any financial aid or sibling discounts for families with fewer than four children. However, we are delighted to admit children who receive scholarships from other sources, and can also put you in touch with organisations providing payment plan options.
