Tuition and Financial Aid

Is Sophia Academy Worth the Sacrifice?

The cost of an effective arts-based and multi-sensory education with personalized intervention is significant. We understand that many families will struggle to meet these costs. But when students reach high school believing lies about who they are and what they can achieve because of their learning differences, a school like Sophia Academy is the only choice.  Our mission at Sophia Academy is to help Philadelphia families make that choice and meet these costs.

Tuition for 2024-2025 Grades 9-11  $24,000; Grade 12  $26,500

Fees: Grades 9-11 $350;  Grade 12  $550

How will your student’s schooling be funded?

1.  We will charge your tuition on a sliding scale based on your family income. All families desiring assistance must submit the  Financial Aid Application2
2. If you are working with an education lawyer, let us know the status of your case before August 15, so we can adjust your invoicing.
3.  We ask every family who applies for financial aid to apply to two (2) outside scholarships. Some scholarships are listed below.
4. We ask every family who receives financial aid to complete 10-15 hours of volunteer work for the school over the course of the year.
