Tuition and Affordability
Understanding Tuition and Affordability
At The Wyndcroft School, we believe that every child deserves an exceptional education—one that inspires curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.
Our needs-based Financial Scholarship Program reflects our commitment to affordability, accessibility, and partnership with families of all backgrounds.
We work with families to make tuition manageable, because we believe that finances should never be the reason a child misses out on The Wyndcroft School experience.
What Does Tuition Look Like?
Tuition at The Wyndcroft School is thoughtfully structured to reflect the evolving educational experience as students grow. Rates increase gradually by grade level, beginning with our Early Childhood program and rising through Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Grades 1–8. This tiered structure aligns with the increasing depth of academic programming, specialist instruction, and extracurricular opportunities offered at each stage of your child’s journey. Every tuition level supports access to Wyndcroft’s rich curriculum, caring teachers, engaging learning environments, and signature programs that nurture the children. And with our needs-based Financial Scholarship program available for Kindergarten through Grade 8, we’re committed to working with families to make this exceptional experience attainable.

Financial Scholarship Application Process
We know that no two families are the same—financially or otherwise. That’s why The Wyndcroft School offers a needs-based Financial Scholarship program for students entering Kindergarten through Grade 8, designed to adjust tuition costs based on each family's unique financial picture. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, our Financial Scholarship application process takes into account factors like household income, family size, assets, liabilities, and expenses to determine a tuition level that’s right for you. Our goal is to make The Wyndcroft School education accessible without compromising your family’s financial well-being.
1. Indicate Your Interest in the Financial Scholarship Program
When completing your child's admission application, simply check the box that says you're interested in applying for Financial Scholarships. This ensures your admissions and tuition review processes happen in tandem.
2. Complete a Confidential Financial Application Through SSS
We partner with School and Student Services (SSS), a third-party platform trusted by schools nationwide. After creating an account, you'll submit required documents such as W-2s, tax returns, and a household budget. A file is considered complete when the Parent Financial Statements and current tax returns are received from both parents, either jointly or separately, including signatures, all schedules, W-2s and 1099s, and Form 4506.
3. The Wyndcroft School Reviews Your Application
Our Tuition Assistance Committee carefully reviews each family's application in partnership with the SSS recommendations. We assess your full financial picture, not just your income, to determine an appropriate tuition level.
4. Receive Your Personalized Tuition Offer
You'll be notified of your tuition level—what your family is expected to contribute for the year per student—at the same time as your child's admissions decision. This number is unique to your family and remains confidential.
5. Accept Your Offer & Enroll!
If you choose to move forward, you'll secure your child's spot by signing the enrollment agreement and paying the reservation deposit. Financial Scholarships are determined annually, and current parents must reapply each year through SSS by February 1. Unless there is a significant change in annual income or available assets, parents can expect a similar Financial Scholarship from year to year.
Payment Options
Financial Scholarships not only allow families to pay a rate designed specifically for their family, but also to choose a payment plan that works for them. All The Wyndcroft School families can choose one of three payment plans, whichever best fits their family's needs. We have three options, listed below:
Ten-Payment Plan
This plan is comprised of ten payments dividing the annual tuition into installments beginning in August and ending in May. This option must be set up as an automatic payment through our online payment portal.
Three-Payment Plan
This plan is comprised of three payments dividing the annual tuition, with 45% due by August 1, 30% on November 1, and 25% due on February 1.
One-Payment Plan
This plan is comprised of one payment of the full annual tuition due by August 1.
Extended Day Program
The Wyndcroft School also offers Extended Day for our students in grades K through 8 while school is in session. Extended Day is available Monday through Friday from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. $20/hour on an as-needed basis, or $600/month for families who use the program more frequently.
Mid-Year Enrollments
Mid-year enrolled students will pay the current year's tuition on a prorated basis. Interested in enrolling your child at The Wyndcroft School halfway through the school year? Please contact Hannah Walker, Director of Admissions and Communications, for more information.
