Tuition

At Catlin Gabel, families can expect small classes, brilliant teachers, a beautiful campus, and extraordinary learning experiences that prepare students to thrive in a complex world. Tuition enables us to continue offering the best education in Oregon.
Tuition Sustains Educational Excellence
Each year, Catlin Gabel reviews and sets tuition levels that sustain our exceptional educational program while keeping family resources in mind. Tuition, supported by the philanthropy of our generous community, ensures Catlin Gabel continues to provide the best education in Oregon. Tuition is the primary source of funding for experiential learning opportunities, campus maintenance, competitive employee salaries and benefits, and a wide range of co-curricular programs.
2026-27 Tuition
Tuition typically increases 4–6% each year, driven by rising costs (such as utilities and benefits), investments in faculty and programs, and campus upkeep. The Finance Committee and Board of Trustees work carefully to keep tuition increases as modest as possible while maintaining the long-term strength of the school.
