Tuition & Aid
Southshire Community School is located in the town of North Bennington which is a school choice town. The North Bennington Graded School District covers the full tuition for each in-district student who would like to attend.
We serve approximately 30 students, about half are from the surrounding school district, which includes North Bennington and Shaftsbury, District 1. Families living in these school districts have “school choice” for K-6. This means that their student(s) can attend Southshire Community School through tuition paid by the School District.

At the time of initial enrollment, a $500 security deposit per child is also collected. This deposit is used to pay outstanding balances at the end of the school year, with any remaining amount rolled over toward the security deposit for the following year. The Enrollment Contract provides all information regarding tuition payment options.
