The school at a glance
Clayton-Bradley Academy is a Maryville option for families seeking an independent STEM and project-based program without a religious affiliation. Its 2026–27 tuition is $14,000 for lower and middle school and $14,500 for high school, with technology and field-study charges added separately. The school reports that its scholarship fund supports roughly 35% of students and that qualifying K–12 awards can cover up to half of tuition. Those figures describe the aid program, not an offer to a particular household. Families apply for assistance after acceptance, so they should clarify decision timing before making nonrefundable commitments. The credited enrollment deposit must not be counted twice in an annual budget. Its year-round calendar and separate care, meal, and larger-trip costs also affect affordability. This candidate broadens educational choice while keeping the published price and limits of its aid policy visible.
Moderate nonsectarian K-12 sticker prices with a quantified partial-aid pathway; full costs and eligibility remain family-specific.
