    An investment that lasts a lifetime.

    A Countryside education is a meaningful investment in your child's future — and we work hard to make it possible for the families who belong here.

    Tuition

    Tuition at Countryside varies by program and schedule — so we share detailed information personally.

    We offer programs from 16 months through elementary, including half-day and full-day options and year-round schedules. Because every family's needs are a little different, the best next step is a short conversation: tell us about your child and we'll walk you through current tuition for their level, what's included, and the options available to your family.

    Prefer to see the school first? You're always welcome to schedule a personal tour.
