TUITION & FEES
Asheville Waldorf School uses Tier-based Tuition Structure
This Tier-based system was created based on the following goals:
- to achieve long-term financial sustainability of our school
- to create a more robust and fair financial aid system for all
- to ensure continued accessibility to all families currently part of our school
- To continue our progress in making Waldorf Education accessible to children of all socio-economic backgrounds
We know our new structure and process can help us collectively achieve these goals and intentions of sustainability and accessibility in alignment with the mission, vision, values, and strategic plan of our Asheville Waldorf School community.
