Rolling Admissions:

MAGE has rolling admission if there is space at a particular level. Students applying close to, or after the start of the school year, might not get all of their desired academic courses. There is an increase in tuition for anyone who applies after September 1, 2025. Rolling admissions uses the current year base for tuition calculation.

Discounts:

  • Siblings: 5% discount for both, 7% off cumulative tuition if more than two children attend from the same family.

  • If a parent or legal guardian is a full-time educator at an accredited university in Chicago, or is an active member or veteran of the armed services, they receive a further 2% discount over their total.

  • Full time teachers at the school get free tuition for at least one child, if space allows at the time of hire.

  • Part time teachers at the school get free part time tuition for one class for one child.

Required Giving:

We have one school-initiated fundraiser per year. We encourage a minimal gift during the Annual School Drive and we have a very active family association that runs fundraising events throughout the school year.

Affordability and Scholarships:

  • We offer two, limited and separate scholarship opportunities. Scholarships and Financial Aid will be re-evaluated every year and are not a continuous guarantee.

  • Merit: We have a limited number of need-blind, merit scholarships available. These do not cover full tuition and are reserved to support PG students based on achievement in one or more fields of study. Please remember, most of our applicants are gifted so we are difficult to impress.

  • Need-based financial aid: This Financial Aid does not cover full tuition at this time. It is designed to make the school more financially diverse, as our goal is to be diverse in all areas, including net income. You must request Financial Aid during or prior to your interview process for admission.

  • February 1st is the application deadline to be considered for scholarship for the following school year. March 1 is the decision announcement.
