Tuition and fees
Sandpoint Waldorf School remains one of the most affordable Waldorf schools in the country because of a strong belief that Waldorf education should be accessible to all. SWS strives to keep tuition costs as low as possible as well as offering tuition adjustment for families in need. Tuition and fees can change every year. Tuition is only one part of covering the cost of education. The remaining budget is raised through a variety of community events and fundraisers which give parents the opportunity to leverage their strengths to support the school. Tuition amounts listed below are annual tuition rates. If you would like to learn more about the Tuition Adjustment Program, click here.
