FAQs -
Tuition & Fees
Do
you offer sibling discounts?
Sibling discounts of 20 percent for the second child and 40 percent for
the third child are applicable. Sibling discounts do not apply to
Aftercare fees.
When
are the fees due?
The $325 registration fee; 10 percent of the annual tuition cost; and a
signed tuition contract are due upon enrollment. The supply fee, tuition insurance payment and SCRIP deposit all are due
June 15 or upon enrollment after that date. These fees are
nonrefundable.
What
are my payment options?
Annual tuition may be paid in one annual payment (due August 15 of the
school year, or upon enrollment), or in monthly installments
of
nine
payments (due August 15 - April 15.) The
10 percent tuition
deposit is nonrefundable.
Payments
are due on the 15th of the month. Any payments received after the 20th
of the month must include a $50 late fee.
What
if my child starts after the
beginning of the school year?
If your child enters the program after the beginning of the year,
Sanderling Waldorf School will prorate tuition appropriately.
Please note
that the registration fee is nonrefundable
and payable in full for each
student regardless of his/her date of entry into the school.
Is
there a trial period?
When families sign the tuition contract, they are legally committing to
pay tuition
for that student for the entire year. We provide a six-week trial
period during which either the student's family or the school may find
good reason for the child to withdraw. Disenrollment
during the six-week trial period releases the family from the
responsibility for paying the remainder of the annual tuition. Tuition
and fees already paid are nonrefundable. After the trial
period, families are responsible for the annual tuition, even in the
case of early withdrawal for reasons other than relocation of the
family or loss of income. Tuition loss due to withdrawal based on job
location or loss of income will be covered by the school's Tuition
Insurance Fund. For reasons other than relocation of the family or loss of income, if
the class is full; a replacement
student
is found; and a 30-day written notice of withdrawal is provided,
tuition may be prorated including payment for four weeks of school
after receiving the written notice.
Is
tuition assistance available?
Tuition
assistance may be available for families of students enrolling
in
our grade-school program. Sanderling Waldorf School believes
Waldorf
education should
be available to families of all economic levels. We also believe that
both the school and these families need to stretch their respective
budgets to make this possible. Tuition assistance is completely funded
by Sanderling Waldorf School's tuition revenues and fundraising
efforts. We do
not receive any funds from any other source to make this program
possible. Applications for tuition assistance must be submitted by April 1 or upon enrollment after April 1 of each year.
Families receiving tuition assistance must re-apply each year. The
school is unable to grant every request for assistance.
Do
I have any obligations beyond tuition?
Sanderling Waldorf School is powered by its parent body. Your volunteer
participation through community meetings, festivals and other school
activities is vital to the health of the school. Nursery/Kindergarten
and Grades families are asked
to volunteer regularly in various capacities.
