Tuition Rates for the 2025-2026 School Year

Tuition rates for the 2025-2026 school year are based on per pupil, per annum, the amount equal to the per pupil amount received by GMSD from Shelby County and the City of Germantown during the preceding school year. Tuition payments are non-refundable and must be paid in full as a one-time payment.

Tuition payments for the 25-26 school year are not yet being taken. This page will be updated with a live tuition payment link as that information becomes available. The amounts shown below are to help families plan for upcoming costs for the 25-26 school year. 

Families who qualify for the Free & Reduced Lunch program for the 2025-2026 school year are not required to pay tuition.
