Tuition and Fees

If you apply to GNS through Cambridge Preschool Program and are offered a spot at Garden Nursery School, fees and tuition rates do not apply to you.

Fees

A non-refundable fee of $55 is due with each application.

If your child is admitted and you decide to enroll, a tuition deposit of $1,000 is due with your contract. This deposit will be removed from your last tuition payment. If you withdraw prior to completing the school year, this deposit will be retained by GNS as a withdrawal fee.
