Affordability

At Laurelbrook Academy a well-balanced education is a significant investment in your child’s future. We are committed to helping families bridge the gap between what they can afford to pay and what education at Laurelbrook costs. For this reason, tuition assistance in the form of merit scholarships, need-based aid, vocational program, and other awards and discounts are available to families wishing to pursue the Laurelbrook experience. 

All families are eligible to apply for financial aid. Approximately 75% of students receive financial assistance each year, funded by Laurelbrook Nursing Home, gifts to Laurelbrook Academy, and endowments.

School Uniform

A school uniform teaches students to dress smartly and take pride in their appearance. Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means that students don’t have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn’t so important.
