Tuition & Fees

Like our instruction, tuition is unique to each student and their individual needs.

Tuition Models

180 Day Schedule

This is the standard August-June school schedule that does not include extended school year (summer programming) or (Fall, Winter, and Spring) intersessions. Those services may still be purchased on a weekly basis as a separate fee-based service.

180 + Intersession

This schedule covers the standard school year and all intersessions (Fall, Winter, and Spring). Please be advised that should intersession days be cancelled due to school weather closures, credits will be applied to another service at Mainspring such as extended school day services, registration for the following school year, extended school year programming. Credits will not be refunded to parents. 10% discount provided for Intersession.

Full Year

This schedule covers the standard school year, all intersessions, and extended school year (summer programming). 10% Discount Provided for Intersession and Extended School Year.

Your child’s assigned tier will determine their tuition amount.

Tuition will cover the cost of a teacher and support for that teacher.

Support may include a paraprofessional (either full-time or part-time, depending on the needs of the class) and access to our staff BCBA to update and develop behavior plans as needed. It is important to note that tuition will not include 1:1 medical therapy such as ABA, speech, or OT. Rather, our BCBAs write and supervise behavior plans specific to your child’s success in the educational environment. We are focused on academics, life skills, and vocational skills.

While we encourage all of our families to obtain therapeutic services, we’re not a clinic-based school. In addition to participating in state scholarships, we provide a limited number of financial hardship scholarships. We’re happy to discuss this with you during the admissions process.

Family Empowerment Scholarship for Unique Abilities (FES-UA)

Most of our current students benefit from the Step Up for Students FES-UA Scholarship (state-funded) to cover a portion of their tuition. Please navigate the resources below for more information.
