Tuition

Thank you for your interest in the School District of Clayton. A recent public opinion survey of Clayton residents showed that 80 percent of them believe that Clayton's public schools are as good or better than area private schools. If you're reading this, then you must also be carefully considering that same idea.

The School District of Clayton has a nationally, and internationally, recognized Pre-K through 12, college preparatory, academic program. We believe that our students' achievements and accomplishments are a direct result of our commitment to putting the interests and needs of each student at the center of every decision we make. Our mission, "to strive to develop in all our children the strength of character, the skills, the knowledge, and the wisdom necessary to build creative, productive lives and to contribute to a global society," drives us as we guide our students on their path to success.
