Tuition and Assistance

GCE tuition reflects the personal attention and exceptional education that every family receives in our independent school. We have priced our tuition 10-25% less than Chicago’s elite Independent schools.

• Tuition: $20,000
• Fees: $2,000

For the 2011-12 school year, GCE will provide varying levels of need-based assistance to to roughly 30% of its students. All recipients of assistance complete the same application process and submit verifying documents.  Applications for Financial Assistance are separate from GCE’s need-blind admission process.  GCE partners with TADS, Tuition Assistance Data Services, a Minneapolis company that handles our admission, enrollment, financial assistance and billing accounts online at low cost to families.
