Tuition & Fees
WSA is our family! Our children have received so much support over the years from their many teachers, and we are so thankful. We wish every child could receive a Waldorf education.

Tuition & Fees for the 2026-27 School Year
Tuition is set annually by the Board of Trustees at a level needed to meet the cost of operations. Most families pay over 12 months, though an annual and semi-annual payment schedule are also available.
For families on tuition assistance, each of the monthly payments will be approximately the same amount based on the amount of assistance awarded.
Sibling discount: There is a 10% discount for all younger siblings attending the school (except for families receiving tuition assistance).
Payments will increase for families adding in Extended Day hours.

Additional Fees and Costs
Instrument Rental and Lessons
Beginning in Grade 3, students start learning a string instrument, either the violin, viola or cello. Parents support this program by providing private lessons so students can further develop the skills acquired through the school’s rich music curriculum. Many students will continue playing their instrument through eighth grade. Students admitted during middle school years may start on a string instrument or may participate in our ukulele ensemble. It is especially helpful if students begin lessons during the summer to prepare them for the year ahead. Parents are responsible for the cost of weekly lessons and renting or purchasing an instrument. These costs can range from $200 to $250 per month.
Enrollment in our Tuition Refund Plan is required for all families who select an installment payment plan.
The premium is 2.5% of your student's tuition for the academic year and will be added to your first payment or billed at the time of enrollment.
