Town Tuition Initiative
GSA is deeply grateful for the support we receive from our sending towns.
For the past seven years, voters in our peninsula towns have approved paying GSA supplemental tuition for students who attend GSA. This supplemental tuition helps defray the actual costs of providing the all-encompassing education that peninsula students want and that they need for those next steps beyond high school.
This year the Board of Trustees committed to decreasing the supplemental tuition by 10% for each of the following three years. The supplemental tuition for the 2026-2027 school year is $1,530. Increased Maximum Allowable Tuition (MAT), enrollment numbers, and fundraising dollars are making this possible.
Here are details you need to vote for the Supplemental Tuition:
