Tuition & Fees

Application/Waitlist Fee

At the time of application/wait list submission, all parents of prospective students will be required to pay a one-time, non-refundable, and non-transferable application fee* of $100 per child. Families will be called or emailed annually in the spring, either with an offer of enrollment or with an update on their position on the waiting list.

Enrollment Fees

Enrollment fees* are paid at initial enrollment, and for annual re-enrollment each August. Enrollment fees are charged for the September-to-August school year, and cannot be prorated for part-year attendance. Initial enrollment fees include a two-week advance tuition deposit, as well as an annual registration fee of $170 per child, and an annual co-op fee of $150 per family.

Fundraising

All families are required to provide a yearly donation of $300 for school improvements, which is tax-deductible. Families are also encouraged, but not required, to participate in any fundraisers that may be organized by the Fundraising Chair of the Board of Directors.

*Fees and tuition are set annually by the Board as part of the budget process. All prices are effective from September 2024 to August 2025.
