If you qualify for financial aid, the best education in Franklin and surrounding counties may cost less than that offered by our competitors.

 

Capital Day School offers financial aid to assist qualified students who otherwise would be unable to attend. Eligibility is based upon need as determined by the Parents’ Financial Statement and the Capital Day School Application for Financial Aid. The families of all CDS students are given the opportunity to apply for assistance.

 

As a member institution of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), Capital Day School utilizes NAIS’s School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS), a comprehensive financial aid services solution.

A copy of the previous year's Federal Income Tax Return, including all attachments, must also be submitted to SSS.
