Tuition and fees cover all costs except some class trips, food, after school care, bus transportation, extracurricular progams, music lessons, and minor incidental costs. Tuition is assessed on an annual basis. Tuition and Enrollment Schedules for the Lower School (K-8) and High School are included in information packets, listing tuition amounts for the coming year once they have been announced, along with sibling discounts and other enrollment information.

Financial assistance is available in the form of grants to approximately 33 percent of students in grades K-12 based on demonstrated need. Call the office for applications which are available on December 1. Financial aid is not available for the Young Child Sweet Pea classes or the Early Kindergarten class although sibling discounts apply to both.

Tuition deposit

A one-time non-refundable deposit of one month's tuition (one-tenth of the annual tuition) for each student is needed to assure a space in the class. This one-time deposit will be held year to year as long as the student is enrolled in the East Bay Waldorf School. It may be applied toward the last month's tuition and fees of the student's final, fully completed year in the school, but is otherwise non-refundable.

Financial aid

The East Bay Waldorf School strives to adhere to the principle that economic and financial considerations should not determine who can or cannot attend the school. In an effort to make the school accessible to children of all economic backgrounds, the school offers financial aid based on demonstrated need through its tuition assistance program. In return, we seek families who are committed to Waldorf education for their children.

Reductions in tuition are based on an independent assessment of a family's financial need. Refer to the Financial Aid Process below. Applications for financial aid are available in the school office or by downloading the pdfs below. Please visit www.nais.org/financialaid/SSS to fill out the Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) online. The financial aid application deadline is January 10, 2008. Tax forms must be received by February 15, 2008. Later applications may be considered if funds are still available. Financial aid applications will be processed after a student has completed the application process and has been accepted.
