Yes, all international schools are private. You can also tell because it's accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools instead of by the State. Financial Aid: IADT offers tuition planning to each student to determine the best financial aid package. Financial aid is available to students who qualify. Good Luck!
