TEAM: Our Equitable Tuition Setting Model
Our Tuition Equity and Accessibility Model (TEAM) changes the paradigm from financial aid to equitable tuition level setting for all families. The TEAM process is supported by the Clarity Application during the admissions or reenrollment process to determine an equitable tuition level — from zero to maximum — for all of our families. (Of course, families may also choose to opt out and pay the maximum tuition.)
TEAM is one of the many ways Corlears School demonstrates its commitment to DEIB, ensuring equity in our school all the way down to the tuition-setting structure. Through this paradigm, more than ever, all families are able to contribute in an equitable way to helping Corlears to maintain a high level of faculty expertise and an extraordinary educational program.
Please note: Receiving an indication of your TEAM level does not signify admission or enrollment to Corlears School. Further, recommendations for admission are made independently of tuition assignments.
Submitting a Financial Assessment
Families must fill out a financial assessment in Clarity to be considered for an equitable tuition level.
The application in Clarity typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete and is mobile friendly. You are also able to save your progress and return anytime. The cost to submit is $65 per household.
Corlears School's Clarity Code is 9124

Frequently Asked Questions
Each year, the Board of Trustees sets the maximum tuition for the following school year. In order to maintain our program and teacher salaries, the maximum tuition will increase annually; however, the TEAM will be administered every year and will continue to adjust a family's tuition level to match their needs.
In the fall, both enrolled and applicant families are asked to fill out the Clarity Application. We encourage all families to opt into TEAM, but you may also opt out of the process and pay the maximum tuition. Details from the application will be used to determine each family's equitable tuition level by considering their income, assets, and essential expenses. Families will be provided with their tuition level ahead of their re/enrollment process.

No. After the admissions committee recommends students for admission, the enrollment management team considers the entire pool of applicants to offer final admission decisions with the goal of maintaining diversity at all levels. During this stage of the process, we endeavor to meet each family’s financial capacity to the best of our ability.
By opting in after your child has been accepted, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to offer a TEAM level that feels supportive.
After the ISAAGNY deadline has passed, applications for Seedlings and up are reviewed on a rolling basis. (1s admissions are always rolling.) Once individualized tuition levels and admission decisions have gone out, we may not be able to offer a TEAM level that matches your family’s capacity, particularly in the Early Childhood years.
Still, if for any reason you are opting into TEAM and submitting your child’s application after the deadline, families are encouraged to complete the process and email tuitionsupport@corlearsschool.org with any questions or concerns.
Typically, evaluation by Corlears School's tuition support team takes 3–5 weeks, so we recommend submitting your family's assessment as early as possible in order to give the team ample time to request additional materials if needed. Our goal is to provide notification of TEAM levels in advance of admissions decisions so that your family can make an informed choice about the coming school year. As a reminder, decisions will arrive in line with ISAAGNY's notification and reply dates.
Receiving an indication of your TEAM level does not signify admission or enrollment to Corlears School. Further, recommendations for admission are made independently of tuition assignments.
