Tuition & Financial Aid

Mt. Helix Academy is committed to providing an exceptional private school education at a tuition rate that remains accessible to many families.

In addition, tuition assistance and financial aid opportunities may be available for qualifying families. We encourage interested families to contact the school office to learn more about available programs and the application process.

Financial aid is awarded based on demonstrated financial need. Each year, the total amount of assistance available is determined by TIEE’s Board of Directors and may vary depending on organizational resources.
