Tuition
The annual tuition is $45,970. Upon acceptance, a $3,000 deposit per student is due to secure the student’s enrollment. This deposit will be applied toward the student’s annual tuition balance. The remainder of tuition and fees are due by July 1, 2025. International students who withdraw for the 2024-25 school year after February 28, 2025, will lose the $3,000 enrollment deposit in addition to any additional payments made for the 2024-25 school year. If a student’s F-1 visa application is denied by a U.S. Consulate multiple times, the enrollment deposit, less a $500 administrative fee, will be refunded to the family. The family must furnish written proof of the visa denials to Ben Lippen School to be eligible for a refund.
