These are the numbers the school gave the U.S. Department of Education for the 2023-24 school year, published in July 2026. The survey counts students in kindergarten to grade 12, not pre-K. Enrollment and staffing move every year, so ask the school for today’s figures. Where this comes from. Something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it.

North Branch School tuition, and what Town tuitioning pays

We have not verified a tuition figure for North Branch School yet. Every private school sets its own price and most share it on request: ask for the full-year tuition for your child’s grade plus required fees, or look for a tuition page on the school’s website. Then put the figure in the calculator below to see what Town tuitioning leaves you to pay.

Tuition paid by your district Each independent school sets its own tuition today. Act 169 of 2026 limits yearly increases in publicly funded tuition from fiscal 2028, and a later foundation formula would set tuition by student.
