Tuition & Affordability

An Education That’s Worth It and Within Reach

At St. Benedict’s Prep, no student is denied the opportunity to attend because of financial need. Our commitment to access ensures that every family who believes in our mission can find a path to make it possible. More than 85% of Middle and Prep Division students receive financial assistance each year, totaling more than $6 million in aid annually.

Supported by loyal alumni, foundations, and friends, The Hive continues to make this transformative education available to families across Newark and beyond.

Tuition and fees at St. Benedict’s Prep are comprehensive, covering everything that makes a Benedict’s education complete. The cost includes classroom instruction, books and supplies, extracurricular activities, athletics, graduation, travel for school programs and competitions, and experiential learning such as the Freshman Overnight and The Trail.

St. Benedict’s Prep carefully reviews every financial aid application on an individual basis. Financial aid decisions are made once all required documents have been submitted and families are enrolled in the FACTS system.

For families in the Elementary Division, tuition is already significantly subsidized to keep costs low for all students, rather than awarding separate financial aid packages.
