Tuition & Hours Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten program has a distinct application process for both current SWS and new inquiries. We intentionally build our class cohort to develop a blend of learning styles, ages, and temperaments and as such we have developed an application process. Please review the steps below. Kindergarten is a commitment to an academic school year, tuition is broken into 10 month installments with a proration for June. Students are enrolled for a Mon to Friday schedule. Kindergarten class hours are 8:00-5:300 with instructional time running 8:00-2:30. Flexible pickup time 2:30-5:30. Tuition for Kindergarten is $1500.
Application Process
Please complete the interest form and application for enrollment for the upcoming academic year. Enrollment is not guaranteed and factors including age, social-emotional maturity, and the following assessment and evaluation will be considered holistically.
After we have received your application, we will call to arrange an assessment for non-SWS families. The assessment consists of a series of activities and questions that often proves enjoyable for four- and five-year- olds. It will be hosted by the Kindergarten teacher. There is no formal parent interview and both parents are not required to be present. Current SWS students will complete an in-class assessment during one of their attending days.
