Tuition & Affording HIES

Your child's future is your best investment.

Thank you for considering Holy Innocents' Episcopal School for your child's education. We know that for most families, investing in an independent school education requires thoughtful financial planning. We are committed to supporting and guiding our families through this process through a series of tuition payment options and an opportunity to apply for need-based financial assistance. As you'll discover when you get to know our community, families find great value in an HIES education. Our approach embraces the Episcopal intellectual tradition of academic excellence, social justice, spiritual growth and servant-leadership. Our students are curious and motivated; excited to discover everything, but their limits. They are critical thinkers and talented performers. They are global citizens and accomplished athletes. Through a broad, challenging and relevant curriculum, they become empathetic, enthusiastic and open-minded learners, serving as catalysts for change in the world. This is the HIES Way.
