Day Tuition Fees
St. Michaels University School provides students with an enriched education, including many extracurricular activities.
The fee information on this page is for Day fees at SMUS. See the Boarding Tuition Fees page for information for boarding families.
Day Fees (2024-25 School Year)
The cost of a SMUS education varies by the location of the primary residence, as do the options for paying your fees. Fees for the 2025-26 year will be available in January 2025. We anticipate that fee increases will be between the range of 6% to 7.5%.

Sibling Discount
All categories of fees are eligible for a 5% discount off tuition for each additional child that attends SMUS when you have one child already registered for the same year.
Our Sibling Discount Appeal
if you are comfortable meeting the financial obligations of tuition without the 5% sibling discount, SMUS asks you to consider donating that 5% to our annual fund in exchange for a tax receipt (in Canada, the US and Britain) to support our campaign to build our endowment and make SMUS more affordable for all families.
