Introducing Clarity
We are excited to announce that Palm Beach Day Academy has chosen Clarity as our new Financial Assistance application system. Our goal is to make the application process as easy as possible for your family. Click here to learn more.
Need-Based Assistance
Through our financial assistance program, PBDA seeks to offer access and opportunity to qualified students from a broad socio-economic background with demonstrated financial need.
Need-based financial assistance is confidential and bridges the gap between what a family can afford and the cost of tuition. Financial assistance is determined through the analysis of a family’s financial resources, including income and assets. Financial Assistance applications are processed through Clarity. The Clarity Application fee is $60.
Families must complete their Financial Assistance application and submit all necessary supporting documentation by the deadline, noted above. Clarity will begin accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year on November 1, 2024.
It is important to note that PBDA may not be able to accommodate all financial assistance applications in a given year. If a family does not receive financial assistance for one year, they may apply for assistance in subsequent years.
Families must reapply for financial assistance for each year the student is enrolled. For families reapplying, an award is subject to the successful completion of the school year for both conduct and academics and the family’s continued support of the mission of PBDA. Awards cannot be made unless the family’s account in the Business Office is up to date for the current school year. If a family’s financial circumstances remain the same, the school will make every effort to assist them at the same level.
Please note, prospective families must complete an Admission Application before or in conjunction with a Financial Assistance application.
Non-Acceptance of State Vouchers
Palm Beach Day Academy is an accredited independent school with a proud history as one of the oldest independent schools in the state of Florida. PBDA also has a long history of not accepting any state funding that could potentially limit our school's ability to operate as an independent school. Therefore, PBDA does not accept state-funded tuition vouchers or scholarships, including those from the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (HB1) and other state programs such as Step Up For Students, the Hope Scholarship, or the Florida Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities.
PBDA is proud to offer a need-based tuition assistance program which is open to any interested family with children in grades K-8. Learn more above.
