Tuition Assistance

FINANCIAL AID

The decision to invest in an independent school education is a significant one for most families and can have a profound impact on your child’s future. 

We recognize that not all families have the means to afford a Waldorf education. Through our Financial Aid program, we strive to match the costs of private education with a family’s economic means.

Additional Support OPPORTUNITIES

Sibling discount

If your family is paying Tier I or Tier II Tuition, you qualify for our Sibling Discount: 

  • One child – full Tier (I or II) Tuition cost 
  • Second child – 5% off
  • Third child (or fourth, fifth, etc) – 10% off

AWS Exception Request

Created to further assist families who are in need of additional assistance beyond our Tier-based Financial Aid and for families who have not qualified for the Opportunity Scholarship for other than financial reasons.

10-Month Payment Plans are available for all Tuition Agreements
