Tuition and Payment Plans

A Harborlight education is an investment.

 
A Harborlight education is an investment in your child’s future and it is a financial responsibility that requires a commitment. We understand that and know the decision to attend a private school does not come lightly. Our students and families come from many different communities, a wide range of economic backgrounds and represent the rich cultural diversity of our greater Beverly community.

Tuition Options

Here you will find the tuitions that reflect the 2026-2027 school year. Our annual school year begins with summer programs in July and August. The official academic year begins September 2026 and ends mid-June 2027. All Extended Montessori and Experience Weeks follow the same July through June year. (Note, often the 'first day' of summer program falls in late June).
