Tuition
Tuition is quoted on a yearly basis. IMS offers 2-year, annual, bi-annual and a 10-month installment plan. Payment can only be made via personal check, an automated e-check from your bank, or money order. IMS does not accept credit cards. Families who elect to pay for 2 years at once or annually, receive 5% discount and those that pay bi-annually receive a 2.5% discount. Families who receive a scholarship are not eligible for any additional tuition discounts attributed to payment plan choice.

IMS contracts with the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS), which is a service of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). SSS is used by more than 2,400 K-12 schools and organizations across the country to help assess a family's ability to pay for independent education and to help families feel confident that their request for financial aid is being treated objectively and professionally.
