It is our goal to build diverse, engaged, talented, and interesting classes. Our Financial Aid Program supports deserving students for whom otherwise a VVS education might not be a possibility.
Financial aid and admission are separate processes; admission decisions are never based upon a family’s ability to pay. Financial Aid is need-based, and Verde Valley School is guided by the principles and methodology of School and Student Services (SSS). Once a student is accepted, the Financial Aid Committee uses the Parent Financial Statement (submitted through SSS) to help determine the family’s financial need, which is defined as the difference between a family’s discretionary resources and the cost of tuition. The school grants financial aid to approximately 45% of the student body every year.
