1. Tuition: Primary revenue stream from tuition payments. Wesleyan is debt-free, meaning tuition dollars are not used for building debt.

An advance payment of approximately 20% is due at enrollment, with remaining balance payable in full by July 1 or in two installments with the final payment due November 1.
2. Endowment Income: The school maintains a $35.9 million endowment (as of December 31, 2025) that provides financial support for operations, financial aid, and programs. Endowment income is one of three funding sources for financial aid.
3. Wesleyan Fund (Annual Giving): Annual fund-raising campaign where gifts support recruiting and retaining teachers and providing financial aid to qualified students. Parent participation has been 95% or greater for 23 of the past 25 years.
4. Georgia GOAL Tax Credit Program: Georgia GOAL is a state tax credit program that allows taxpayers to redirect state tax dollars to scholarships at eligible private schools. Money received through Georgia GOAL is one of three funding sources for financial aid at Wesleyan.
5. Summer Camps and Clinics: Summer camps offered June and July for children ages 3-14, including academic camps, athletic camps, enrichment camps, fine arts camps, and day camps.
