Payment Options and Financial Aid

Payment

Kazoo School allows tuition to be paid in 10, 11, or 12 month installments, at no additional cost. Tuition payments may be made through automatic cash account debit.

Other Requirements

In the interest of keeping tuition costs as low as possible, each Kazoo School family is asked to participate in our Annual Fund and expected to generate a minimum of $150 profit through the Retail Certificate Program.

Families are also expected to contribute their time, as they are able, toward helping with special events, field trips, school beautification projects, recess monitoring, small fundraisers, etc.

Financial Assistance Program

Kazoo School offers need-based scholarships to families unable to afford full tuition. Financial aid amounts range from $300 to $3,400 per child. Families must apply each year for financial assistance. Awards are based on annual income, family size, and the amount of money available in the financial assistance fund.

In recent years, the financial assistance program has expanded to include a higher level of annual income. For example, a family with a federal adjusted gross income of $80,000 may qualify for a financial assistance award, depending on family size.

Retail Certificate Program

Each Kazoo School family is required to generate a minimum of $150 profit through the Retail Certificate Program. After the $150 minimum requirement is met, families may apply one-half of any additional profit generated to their tuition account. Many families have achieved significant reductions in their tuition, in the range of $250 to $1,500.
