What the money paid for, in its own words
FY2025 · Form 990, Part III · the three largest programs by expenseThe school educates (academically, residentially and athletically) approximately 850 students through the efforts of dedicated faculty and staff
The school maintains about 1.4 million square feet of residential, academic and athletic space for a community of over 1,000 members. The majority of this expense reflects the depreciation on the school property, plant and equipment, which has a current accounting value of $207.9 million
The school discounts tuition in the form of financial aid at an approximate rate of 27.09% in an effort to recruit and retain the most talented student body. The school recognizes that a diverse student body betters the overall experience for all involved, and that while not everyone can contribute financially in terms of tuition, everyone has something to offer the Choate Rosemary Hall community
