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 e-mailed 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 pro-rated for part-year attendance. Initial enrollment fees include a two-week advance tuition deposit, as well as an annual registration of $170 per child, and an annual co-op fee of $150 per family.

Fundraising

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