Affording Riviera Ridge

At The Riviera Ridge School, we understand the value of an independent school education and we strive to make our program accessible to all qualified students.

All Riviera Ridge School families are important to our community and we work diligently to provide affordable tuition rates each year.

At The Riviera Ridge School, tuition assistance is provided based on demonstrated financial need. Tuition awards are individualized to provide families with a range of socio-economic backgrounds the access and affordability of a Riviera Ridge School education.

To help determine each family’s need, The Riviera Ridge School subscribes to Smart Aid for tuition assistance processing and assessment.  Tuition Assistance is renewable through the re-enrollment process prior to each new school year.

Currently, $1 million in aid is awarded each year, supporting approximately 40 percent of Riviera Ridge School families.
