Tuition & Financial Aid

The school would like to make Waldorf education available to all families who desire it. Families with genuine need are encouraged to apply for tuition aid. Aid is only available for kindergarten and grade students, and grants are made on the basis of need once a child is accepted. Parents can also choose from a variety of payment plans.
