BOOKS

Except for books required by certain Upper School and Grade 7 and 8 courses that are billed to the student's account, textbooks are provided through the State-funded Textbook Loan Program. These materials are supplied without charge provided they are returned after use on time and in good condition. Otherwise they are billed at replacement cost.

OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL FEES

Other required instructional materials - including those required in regular programs in the Arts, Foreign Language, Science and Shop - are covered by an inclusive Materials Fee as follows:
Grades K-4......$295
Grades 5-8.......$320
Grades 9-12.....$545
In addition, a Computer Training and Usage Fee of $260 Grades K-3 and $355 Grades 4-12 is required.
In rare instances, such as a Senior Project or an especially elaborate shop project, a cost-based additional charge may be made.

ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT

Uniforms (except shoes and other specialized equipment) are supplied to members of most Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman inter-scholastic teams. Otherwise, students must provide their own athletic equipment, which may be purchased at the School Athletic Store and billed at less than retail cost.

TRANSPORTATION

Though transportation to and from school is the responsibility of parents, the school seeks to help families find the solutions they need. The school provides shuttlebus service between the Shaker and Hunting Valley Campuses at $420 per year, one-way or round-trip, payable in advance. For more information, please contact the Business Office.

For many Lower School students, bus transportation is available through their local public schools. Transportation to and from distant communities may be coordinated with the other CCIS Schools whenever it is feasible; however, most families find that car pools better meet their sons' changing extracurricular schedules.

PAYMENT PLANS

Families for whom the following payment schedule is not feasible are encouraged to adopt a low-cost payment plan or secure other outside financing. Although University School does not offer an installment payment plan, many are available such as those provided by Key Education Resources or Academic Management Services which are used in schools and colleges across the country. Details are available through the Business Office.
