- A family can apply for either a discount or financial aid (but not both). Discounts are subject to change each year.
Types of Financial Aid
Northridge uses need-based financial aid to make attendance feasible for as many qualified students as possible. The processes of applying for financial aid and admission to Northridge are done independently. Grants of financial aid are based on the family’s financial need. If you would like to apply for financial aid, you should do so at the same time you apply for admission to the school. Families who apply for financial aid receive priority for hosting international students. Learn more about the types of aid we offer below:
Hosting an International Student
Our international program offers tuition assistance ranging from $3,000-$12,250 annually (depending on the duration of the student’s stay in your household). Many Northridge families find that by hosting an international student, they do not need to apply for further aid. For more information on hosting an international student, please contact Mr. Jack Cleveland, International Program Director, at (847) 375-0600 ext. 492 or [email protected].
Up to $12,250

Siblings Discount
We acknowledge that our families want to send all their children to Northridge, Embers or Willows Academy, so Northridge made this discount available to you.
