04Tuition + fees

How much it costs, in plain English.

Full-time tuition is $1,640 / month for ages 1–3 and $1,540 / month for ages 3–5. We bill once a month on the 1st. Three meals a day, all materials, and the annual all-school camping trip are included.

There's a one-time enrollment fee of $300 when you accept a spot, which goes toward your kid's first year of art supplies, garden seeds, and one very specific brand of crayons we are very loyal to.

We hold ten financial-aid spots each year on a sliding scale — ask during your tour and we'll send you the application, which is short and not at all scary.

05Parents say
My kid came home muddy and proud every day. That's what I wanted.
Dev, dad of Mira (Foxes)
The teachers actually like the kids. You can tell. That's harder to find than you think.
Priya, mom of Ash (Owls)
Real naps. Hot lunch. Real outdoors. We didn't have to choose.
Jonas, dad of Wren (Sprouts)
