Admissions
The Qualia Student -
Anything But “Basic”
We are looking for students who follow their own rhythms, seek their own paths to understanding, and develop their own unique intellectual styles. Who believe that conformity is highly overrated. Who prefer deep reflection to shallow conversation. Who love being with a like-minded group of original thinkers and ardent explorers.
We enroll students who will value our challenging, idea-centered coursework and take advantage of our individualized support system.
Admissions Process
The admissions process at Qualia is simple and straightforward. We encourage families seeking admission to apply by our preferred deadline in early December to secure a space. After the preferred deadline, Qualia will continue to honor applications on a space-available, rolling admissions basis.

Indexed Tuition
We still have funds to allocate from our Indexed Tuition/Assistance pool, so apply soon as spaces are limited in several grades.
Qualia uses an Indexed Tuition model to support increased accessibility for a limited number of students and their working parents. Recognizing that careers are significant in many ways beyond financial reward. Qualia created its Indexed Tuition model to encourage applications from a range of qualified families.
We have limited funds available to index the tuition of 4th-12th families who want their children to attend Qualia, so please inquire soon to see what your family’s tuition would be.
Qualia uses a third-party provider, FAST, where you can apply for the Indexed Tuition program.
