Other Costs

  • Families are responsible for purchasing books for their students. VCS supplies a detailed list of books needed for the year and then families purchase the books on their own. This allows for families to decide if they wish to purchase new or used books. Book cost varies from year to year depending on the class and whether families choose to purchase new or used books. VCS estimates that book cost per student ranges from $200 to $400 per year.

  • $100 to $200 per student. Uniforms are purchased through Lands' End. Details on how to purchase uniforms are provided to families upon enrollment.

 

Scholarships

  • A limited amount of need-based scholarships will be available for the 2025-2026 academic year.

  • Financial aid will be distributed in the form of a 25% reduction in tuition for families that qualify.

  • Payment plans, rebates for families with three or more students enrolled at VCS, and rebates for VCS employees are also available for those who qualify.
