Cushing Academy🇺🇸 United States | |
|---|---|
| Country | United States |
| City | Ashburnham, Massachusetts |
| Institution type | Private boarding school |
| Level | Grades 9–12 |
| International tuition | Hightuition band — no published figure |
| Ranking note | Founded 1865 and co-educational since; 385 students with 93% boarding, from 31 countries and 30 US states; 6:1 student-faculty ratio and an average class of 12; about 30% of students are international; 14 sports across 34 teams, 21 performing arts and 18 visual arts offerings |
| Scholarships | The school states it offers financial aid to qualifying students but publishes no percentage, no average award and no separate statement about whether international students are eligible — a gap worth closing in writing before you plan around it. What the school does publish precisely is the deposit, and the deposit is where an international family meets a different rule: 10% of net tuition for domestic students, 25% for domestic students living outside the US, and 31% for international students. On the published boarding tuition that is roughly USD 24,800 payable up front, non-refundable, and credited towards tuition. |

How to read this table
- An empty cell (—) means VNIS has not verified that data point yet. It does not mean the school lacks it.
- Tuition comes in two kinds and the table says which: a published figure (with source and date) or an editorial tuition band — a band is a range, not a number.
- Columns are in the order you picked them. No school is placed first for being a partner or for paying. Display criteria →
- The table ranks nothing: “differs” means different, not better.
