We understand that choosing an independent school is a major financial decision for many families, and we are committed to keeping tuition as affordable as possible. Tuition covers approximately two-thirds the cost of educating a student at `Iolani with the balance coming from our endowment, from fundraising and from gifts.

Tuition Insurance
We offer the Tuition Refund Plan (TRP) to all families. The TRP provides insurance coverage in case a student must withdraw from `Iolani during the school year. The cost of the Plan is $224 for the 2008-2009 school year and is payable with the July tuition payment.
TRP coverage is optional for families selecting the annual and semester payment plan. It is required for those selecting the monthly plan.
