Tuition & Value
Education is the investment of a lifetime.
At City of Lakes Waldorf School, we strive to keep tuition as affordable as possible, and currently offer one of the best values in independent school education in the Twin Cities.
However, the tuition we charge covers only part of the total amount required to educate a child. The remaining sum comes from generous donations and community fundraising efforts, supported by faculty/staff, parents, students, alumni and extended family and friends.
Need-Based Assistance
City of Lakes Waldorf School offers Tuition Assistance based on financial need and fund availability. We strive to make Waldorf Education accessible and affordable to all children, regardless of financial means, through this program.
Applying for aid has no bearing on our admissions decisions; no student is denied admission because of financial need. City of Lakes Waldorf School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its tuition assistance program.
Payment Plans and Affordability
City of Lakes Waldorf School offers annual, bi-annual or 10-month tuition payment plans.
We understand that City of Lakes Waldorf School tuition is a big commitment for most families. We work hard to keep our tuition low while at the same time offering an exemplary education for our students and an inspiring work environment for our faculty and staff.
Tuition Assistance is offered to qualifying families, and is based on need and aid availability. The Tuition Assistance program is offered for students entering Kindergarten through 8th grade. Please inquire with Caroline if you have more questions about the Tuition Assistance process.
