DAPIP - U.S. Department of Education ↗About St. Anne's-Belfield School
An independent school in Charlottesville, Virginia running from age 2 to Grade 12 across two campuses, with boarding in the Upper School for Grades 9-12. Boarding tuition, room and board for 2026-27 is USD 75,140. Financial aid is need-based only — the school states it offers no merit scholarships — and the priority application deadline is 15 January.
- Boarding tuition, room and board for 2026-27 is USD 75,140, as published in the school's own fee document. International medical insurance is USD 2,653 for ten months or USD 2,895 for twelve.
- On day tuition this record deliberately gives no figure. The school publishes its rates in a PDF rather than on the page, and two readings of that document assigned USD 35,590 and USD 32,340 differently between Middle School and Upper School. Rather than print a number that may be attached to the wrong division, ask the admission office for the Upper School day rate in writing. The boarding figure above was identical across both readings.
- The admission calendar for 2027-28 entry is published and tight: applications open 1 September, the priority application deadline is 15 January for every level from the Early Childhood Programme to Grade 12, priority decisions are released 12 February, the enrolment deadline is 24 February, and rolling admission begins 15 March.
- The financial aid deadline for new families is 8 January — before the application deadline. This is the ordering that catches families out most often, and here it is in writing.
- The school spans age 2 to Grade 12 across two campuses, so a boarding student in Grades 9-12 is at Greenway Rise. The average class size school-wide is 14 and 14 countries are represented, which is a modest international cohort compared with most schools in this group.
- Charlottesville is home to the University of Virginia. For a family thinking about what a student does with weekends and summers, and about exposure to a major research university, that proximity is a practical asset rather than a talking point.
The USD 75,140 boarding rate and the USD 2,653 / USD 2,895 international medical insurance come from the school's own 2026-27 fee document, read on 17 September 2026. THIS RECORD DELIBERATELY OMITS DAY TUITION BY DIVISION: the document is a PDF and two readings assigned USD 35,590 and USD 32,340 differently between Middle School and Upper School; the boarding figure was identical across both readings and is therefore used. The 'about 30% receive partial financial aid' figure, the statement that aid is greatest in the Upper School, and the statement that the school offers NO merit scholarships come from /admission/tuition-fees/. The 2027-28 admission calendar, the 8 January financial aid deadline, the two campuses and the grade range come from /admission/; the 14 countries and average class of 14 from the home page. NOT FOUND: the founding year, total enrolment, the number of boarders, the accrediting body, English requirements for international applicants, and the admission application fee (the USD 65 figure is the Clarity financial-aid platform fee, not an application fee). Tuition changes from year to year.
Ask VNIS about this programmeTuition & scholarships
St. Anne's-Belfield School sits in the High tuition band. Tuition and scholarships change every year and by program, so VNIS provides the exact up-to-date figures for the program you choose during consultation. Two sentences from the school decide how a family should approach this. First: about 30% of students receive partial financial aid, and it is greatest in the Upper School with diminishing amounts available in the Middle and Lower School grades — so the boarding years are the years aid is most available. Second, and more important: the school does not offer merit scholarships at all; awards are based on demonstrated need only. A strong academic record will help a child be admitted here but will not by itself reduce the fee, which is the opposite of how several other schools in this group work. The new-family financial aid deadline is 8 January, a week before the priority application deadline..
