Paying for Exeter
We recognize that choosing an independent school—especially a boarding school—is a major financial decision for families. For that reason the Academy has increased its financial aid dramatically over the recent five years. Please, if you feel that attending Exeter would be a financial stretch, do apply for financial aid.
