Can you use Town tuitioning here?

Not on the Town tuitioning list we read

The Maine Department of Education publishes two PDFs of private elementary and secondary schools approved to receive public tuition, covering 2020-21 through 2025-26 and dated January 23, 2026. Schools are approved each year. Schools marked with the badge here have a 2025-26 public tuition rate on those lists; we match by school name and town, or by a name that appears only once in the state.

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.

Riley School tuition, and what Town tuitioning pays

Riley School publishes its tuition on its own website. See the school’s tuition page (found September 29, 2026). We link it rather than copy the figures, because amounts change each year and differ by grade.

Tuition paid by your school district, up to a state formula For 2025-26 the state average tuition rates were $13,077.51 (elementary) and $15,055.22 (secondary). Payments to private elementary schools may not exceed the statewide average; secondary rates add an allowance for building costs. The 2026-27 rates are due in December 2026.

What would you pay at Riley School?

We could not confirm this year’s Town tuitioning amount, so type in the figure from your award letter. An award can never be more than the school actually charges. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Questions to ask Riley School

  1. What is the full-year tuition for my child’s grade, and which fees are required on top of it?
  2. You were not on the Town tuitioning list we read. Do you take town tuitioning now, or plan to?
  3. How does the Town tuitioning award reach you, and what do families owe before it arrives?
  4. Is there a waitlist or an application deadline for my child’s grade?
  5. Do you offer financial aid, sibling discounts or payment plans?

A school is the only source for its current price and open seats. Its website or admissions office can answer these.
