Chelsea Academy seeks to offer the highest quality Catholic liberal arts education, while still making it accessible to as many mission-aligned families as possible. 

As such, tuition rates are set below the actual cost of educating each student. But recognizing that the tuition is not within reach of every family, Chelsea also makes available limited financial aid on a need basis. (See the Financial Aid section for more information.)
