Investing in a St. Margaret’s Education:
A Partnership for the Future

A St. Margaret’s education is an investment in the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. For over 100 years, we have evolved alongside the world, ensuring that our students confidently move through life, knowing who they are, where they are going, and all who are going with them.

We believe that the experience of an independent school education, particularly within the embrace of a close-knit, values-driven community, is foundational to shaping young students of purpose, character, and confidence. This investment is too important to ignore, and we are here to help.

We also understand that affording an independent school education can be a challenge for many families. At St. Margaret’s, we approach this reality with grace and partnership, working closely with families to make their dream of joining our school community a reality. Our commitment extends beyond tuition assistance; it is a reflection of our belief that a student’s potential should never be limited by financial constraints.

Through a combination of scholarships, financial aid, and flexible tuition options, we strive to make St. Margaret’s accessible to families who share our vision for their daughter’s future. We encourage open conversations, thoughtful planning, and a shared dedication to ensuring that every student who belongs here has the opportunity to thrive.

This is more than just schooling—it is the foundation for a lifetime of purpose, resilience, and achievement. At St. Margaret’s, we are committed to opening doors, fostering ambition, and ensuring that every young woman has the opportunity to build her future on a strong foundation of intellect, faith, and integrity. Together, we make it possible.
