Application fees
- No specific, separate application fee amount is published by the Academy for new applicants. Applications are submitted through the SchoolAdmin application portal.
Tuition fees (2026/27 academic year — school-published figures)
- Annual comprehensive boarding tuition: USD 54,000 per year. This amount is a single, all‑inclusive published figure that covers tuition plus room and board and the additional items listed below.
- Items included in the USD 54,000 annual charge: room & board, meals, student health insurance, ESL courses, laundry, a bedding set, technology fees, an iPad for the year, transportation to/from Bangor International Airport, one SAT exam, any AP exam fees, and student activities. The Academy indicates that this published figure is intended to eliminate other surprise required fees.
- The Academy operates on a two‑semester academic calendar (fall semester August–January; spring semester January–June). The school does not publish a separate per‑term tuition amount or a grade‑by‑grade tuition schedule on its publicly available admissions pages.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school follows an academic year divided into two semesters (fall and spring). No fixed per‑term billing breakdown or published installment schedule is provided on the Academy's admissions or payment pages.
- Accepted payment channels shown by the Academy: Flywire for international payments, and credit card payment functionality. These are the published online payment routes for school fees.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is part of the comprehensive USD 54,000 annual charge; there is no separate published boarding fee in addition to that figure. The Academy's residential program operates from two dormitories with separate male/female wings and common areas.
Other costs and typical school‑store items
- School uniform and spirit apparel prices (examples from the on‑campus School Store):
- Nike/Carhartt hoodies: USD 60
- Nike long‑sleeve T‑shirt: USD 40
- T‑shirts: USD 15–35 (depending on style)
- Quarter‑zip: USD 35
- Sweatpants / hoodies / Under Armour shorts: around USD 30 each
- Baseball hat: USD 20
- Stadium blanket: USD 25
- Under Armour leggings: USD 45
(These are representative retail prices offered through the Academy's School Store.)
- The Academy's published comprehensive boarding tuition (USD 54,000) specifically lists student health insurance, an iPad for the year, laundry, bedding set, and certain exam fees as included; families should expect that many standard boarding costs are covered by that one figure.
Refund information
- No detailed, itemized tuition‑refund policy or a published enrollment‑deposit/refund schedule is provided on the Academy's publicly available admissions pages. The school does publish financial aid procedures and deadlines (for example, financial aid paperwork deadlines and renewal dates), but a formal tuition‑refund policy is not posted on the admissions pages reviewed.
Fee payment options (methods accepted)
- International payments: Flywire.
- Credit card payments: online credit‑card payment functionality is published.
- In‑person school store payments: cash, check (made out to FA), major credit cards, and mobile payments (Apple Pay) for School Store purchases; the School Store notes some online payment options are in development.
Summary of published information and notable omissions
- Published, definitive figures available from the Academy for the 2026/27 admissions materials: a single comprehensive annual boarding tuition of USD 54,000 (which the school describes as covering tuition, room & board, meals, health insurance, ESL, tech fees, an iPad, and specified exams/activities).
- The Academy does not publish a separate per‑term breakdown, a grade‑by‑grade tuition schedule, a specific application‑fee amount, or a detailed tuition‑refund policy on the admissions and payment pages that are publicly posted. Payment methods that are published include Flywire (international) and credit card payments.
