Soundview offers three payment options for tuition: one payment, three payments, or eleven payments.

Your account will be set up with the payment plan you chose on your student's enrollment agreement. All payment plans begin in July, or modified for a later start if you enroll after July.

Financial Aid

The financial aid program is designed to make a Soundview education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. Soundview uses a third party, Clarity Financial Aid, to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information shared in the application, including assets, income, expenses, and debts. Financial aid is available for primary years and middle school students.

  • Financial Aid Application deadline for returning families: December 15, 2025

  • Financial Aid Application deadline for prospective families: February 13, 2026

To get started, please:

  • Visit Clarity Application and create an account. The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete and is mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time.

  • Pay the $60 application fee. You can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.

  • Return to your dashboard after you complete and submit your Clarity Application, as we require you to upload additional documentation including current pay stubs and any relevant business-owner documents, to determine a familiy's ability to contribute towards educational expenses.

If a family qualifies for aid, an award is determined by the Financial Aid Committee and will be communicated with decision letters.
