Tuition & Affordability

A Pres Education is More Affordable Than You Think

Our foundress, Nano Nagle, was committed to providing access to education for all, grounded in faith and a transformative Catholic education. She inspired generations of students to create positive change in the world. At Presentation, we carry on that legacy by offering a comprehensive tuition assistance program that meets a wide range of financial needs. Our need-blind admissions process does not consider an applicant’s ability to pay when evaluating applications.

Tuition

We recognize that an independent school education is a significant financial commitment, perhaps the most important one you can make.
