International students are required to deposit an additional $152 for mandatory health insurance coverage.

This amount for full-time day students living in Watertown or the immediate vicinity covers tuition, lunches on Mondays through Saturdays, and most trips and activities (overnight trips are not applicable to day students).

Additional cost: In addition to the tuition fee we ask each full-time day student to bring at least $300 to cover books, supplies and incidentals. This money will be placed in the student's account at registration, and the student may use it to make purchases in the School store.

Any money remaining in the bank will be refunded to the parents after all summer charges have been reconciled.
