TUITION

Students who join us during the school year have prorated tuition. Each School Year enrollment contract begins with a one-month practice period with up to two check-in meetings to make sure that there is a good fit among the student, the school, and the family.

Tuition Rates through December 31, 2025
$9,476 (4 to 5 days a week, regularly scheduled days established in advance)
$5,940 (2 to 3 days a week, regularly scheduled days established in advance)
Payment may be made in monthly installments, 2 installments, or one.

**Tuition Rates for new enrollments, Beginning January 1, 2026**
(After much care and thought, we have made the decision to increase our tuition rates to an amount that will not require our school to rely so heavily on in-kind donations and cash gifts to keep our school thriving. We hope that with this shift in financial planning, our school can become more sustainable in the future. Thank you for your understanding.)
$13,500 (4 to 5 days a week, regularly scheduled days established in advance)
$8,500 (2 to 3 days a week, regularly scheduled days established in advance)
Payment may be made in monthly installments or one.

Note: Limited tuition assistance may be available on a case by case basis. If your family and our school is a good fit, we will work with you to determine a mutually agreed upon tuition amount that is both accessible for the family and respectful of our school’s financial needs. Tuition assistance is reevaluated on an annual basis by the Tuition Assistance Committee.

Sibling discount: 10%
(Sibling discount and tuition assistance discounts cannot be combined.)

A non-refundable supply fee of $300 is required per School Year agreement.

Thinking about Part-Time?
Setting everyone up for success—Historically we have seen that students who attend 4-5 days a week have a much easier time acclimating to the freedoms and responsibilities of a Self-Directed Education learning community. New students who enroll for 2-3 days a week will receive additional support from current students and school staff to help them have a positive experience at our school. Also, additional check-in meetings with parents of 2-3 days a week students are available to better support the entire family. Read the FAQ about attending part-time.
