An Affordable Education


Tuition & Fees

Chesterton Academy of Annapolis is committed to offering a classical education in the Catholic tradition at an affordable cost to families.

Tuition for the 2024-25 academic year is $11,700 per student.

Families with siblings at the academy receive a tuition discount:

  • $1500 off tuition for the first sibling

  • $3500 off tuition for the second sibling

Because tuition does not cover the full cost of education, families are expected to help in fundraising efforts throughout the year.

Financial Aid

Limited tuition assistance is available to families that apply and qualify for aid. CAA utilizes TADS to help allocate our limited aid dollars.

The student application process must be completed in full before being considered for tuition assistance. The deadline for financial aid is 12/20/24.
