The Riverview School offers financial assistance to families who otherwise would not be able to afford the cost of a Riverview education.
Financial aid is an outright grant, used to offset the cost of tuition, which your family does not need to pay back to the School. Applications are reviewed by our Financial Aid Committee, comprised of trusted members and chaired by the Director of Finance. We strive to accommodate as many families as possible within the financial aid budget; all financial aid at Riverview is based on demonstrated financial need.
*Only students who have been accepted or are re-enrolling to Riverview can receive Financial Aid.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 contains a provision that allows use of Section 529 savings to pay for private K–12 education up to $10,000 per year, per child starting in 2018. Establishing and funding a Section 529 plan can provide significant tax benefits. See your investment advisor and accountant for more information.
As you may or may not be aware, the Internal Revenue Code provides that expenses paid for medical care are deductible to the extent such expenses exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income. Tuition paid to a school qualifying as a “special school” under the U.S. Treasury Regulations is considered a medical care expense. Generally, a qualifying special school is one that employs special methods and resources for alleviating a mental or physical handicap. The curriculum of a special school may include some ordinary education, but this must be incidental to the primary purpose of the school to enable the student to compensate for or overcome a handicap. For more information, click the button below to read the full letter regarding the deductibility of tuition.
