    To apply for enrollment in one of Clayton's schools through the Personal Tuition Program, please contact Julie Engelhard at 314-854-6023 or julieengelhard@claytonschools.net.

    Students may enroll in the Personal Tuition Program if there is space available under the class size caps set by the Board of Education. 

    Students may enroll to start on the first day of school in August or the first day of the second semester.  No other mid-year enrollment is available. The application deadline for an August start is July 15. The application deadline for a January start is November 15.

     Tuition rates for the 2025-2026 school year are:

    Grades K-5: $18,300
    Grades 6-12: $19,400

    Families may elect to pay tuition in one lump sum (by August 15), two semester payments (by August 15 and December 15) or ten monthly payments automatically deducted from a checking or savings account, due by the 15th of each month, from August through May. A deposit in the amount of 10% of the annual tuition is required at the time of enrollment. The deposit will be applied to the total tuition due. No deposits will be refunded after July 15. The deposit for returning students is due by July 15.

    The Board of Education sets tuition rates annually in February for the following school year.
