While we are focused on launching our Kindergarten class for 2025-26, we welcome inquiries and applications for Pre-K through Second Grade.

Given our small classes and highly personalized approach to instruction, we are able to individually assess the grade-level readiness of each student. And, as a private school, we are not constrained by traditional public school age cutoffs.

Students entering Kindergarten should be at least 4 years 8 months old by September 1 (i.e. for 2025-26 school year, born before January 1, 2021).

We have designed an innovative curriculum - approved by the Bedford, MA School Committee - that combines hands-on science, social studies, social-emotional learning, and the arts with comprehensive instruction in foundational literacies (language arts and mathematics).

While we do not follow the Common Core per se, our academic program supports appropriate grade-level progress and enables successful matriculation to any future school.

Standard tuition for the full-day (8:30am-3:00pm) academic program (September-June) is $29,000 per year. In addition to all required books and supplies/materials, tuition also covers:

• Weekend enrichment courses throughout the school-year at no additional cost

• An optional summer transition program for new students at no additional cost

• A 50% discount on summer and school vacation programs

Yes, we do! We use a sliding-scale tuition model taking into account household income, education/daycare expenses for other children, and any special circumstances that may affect your ability to afford an Inventor Academy education. (Families with income greater than $275K can generally expect to pay full tuition.)

Awards range from 10-35% of standard tuition. Families that wish to be considered for aid may apply simply by answering a few additional questions in our online application form.

Yes, we provide extended day options during the academic year.

Please note: Extended day programming incurs an additional fee and is not included in the standard tuition.
