A high-quality, independent school education is a significant investment. We understand the financial impact on your family. But Perkins is determined to keep our tuition as affordable as possible. A central facet of our mission is serving a multiplicity of families. A more affordable tuition, along with a robust Financial Assistance Program, allows for greater diversity and strength within our community.
At Perkins, we invest heavily in teachers and teaching - while keeping administrative expenses as low as possible. We are proud that our tuition remains among the lowest of our peer schools in North Seattle.
2025-2026 School Year: $28,500
2026-2027 School Year: $29,996
Tuition covers your child’s enrollment for the school year. Rather than billing separately for each field trip, emergency preparedness supplies, learning assistance, and other ad hoc expenses throughout the year, we also have an annual classroom fee. For the 2026-2027 school year, this fee is $425 for K & 1st grade and $525 for 2nd-5th grade. Parents of 4th and 5th graders also pay for their child’s overnight science camp.
We know your family’s story is more than just numbers…

Can I just get a quick idea of whether we might qualify for financial assistance?
What kind of information will I need to share?
What if our circumstances change?
