Tuition

Sending a child to The NewGate-Field School represents a significant financial investment for the average family. At the same time, running a school like ours, with all of our programs and facilities, is a costly proposition. Our families are very special people who recognize and appreciate that an investment in education truly does pay the best dividends.

Financial Aid: Our goal is to create a diverse school community, drawing together children and families from a wide-range of the Sarasota-Manatee community, in an independent school that will not seek government funding. We have built a financial aid fund into our budget to provide as much assistance as we can for families who could not otherwise afford the school. In addition, the school will offer a number of flexible tuition payment options. Applicants who wish to explore the availability of financial aid should contact us . Applications for financial aid will be considered through a confidential analysis of the family's financial need. If you prefer, click here for more information about our financial aid program.
