The Value of a Mackintosh Education

Mackintosh Academy nurtures the keen minds and compassionate hearts of the gifted child in a responsive and caring community of learners.  The benefits of a Mackintosh education include:

  • Low student/teacher ratios in a friendly, safe, and nurturing environment
  • Full-time gifted program that addresses children’s wide range of needs, passions, and abilities
  • Accredited IB Program where units of inquiry inspire deep, transdisciplinary understanding
  • A whole-child focus that encourages the development of emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and communication skills as well as academic skills
  • A hands-on approach to learning and problem solving that bolsters creativity and innovation

Ultimately, our students are well-prepared to move into high school and beyond, and ultimately mature into confident, healthy human beings inspired to contribute to a world that needs them.

 

Tuition, Aid, and Affordability

The lifelong benefits of an education that sparks the intellect, nurtures social-emotional growth, and teaches students to put knowledge into action are hard to quantify. While tuition at Mackintosh Academy is below the national average for independent schools, we understand that affording an independent school education requires a significant commitment for families. Socioeconomic and ethnic diversity are important to us, and we offer tuition assistance to as many qualified families as possible.

Tuition Assistance Process

Awards are given for pre-K through eighth grades, and amounts are determined using results from an independent financial analysis conducted by FACTS Grant and Aid.  Approximately thirty percent of Mackintosh students receive some tuition assistance to help cover tuition.  All families receiving tuition assistance must reapply every year.

Tuition assistance information is confidential. Only the Tuition Assistance Committee will be privy to this sensitive and personal information.

Please contact our admissions team with any questions regarding how to apply for tuition assistance.
