Each family’s financial contribution to the school is important, and every child’s tuition adds to the welfare of our community. The primary responsibility for financing a child’s education rests with the family, and we seek families who are committed to making this important investment in their child’s future. We also believe that a Waldorf education should be available to any child, regardless of financial circumstance, and we balance this belief with the practical realities of our school’s financial requirements and needs. Families who wish to be considered for Tuition Adjustment can learn about our process and requirements here.

Tuition & Fee Rates for 2020-2021 will be released in January 2020.
