Enrollment is Open year-round!
Tuition and Financial Aid
WSS wishes that all families who desire this type of education can afford it.
WSS has two options for tuition for your child(s):
1. Apply to FACTS for a tuition amount on our sliding scale: Your tuition will be set based on your family’s income and expenses, determined through a financial application process administered by FACTS. You will be required to submit income verification during this process. Each year, this must be completed by the end of April to be eligible as funds are limited after this date.
There is a $40 fee for this application paid to FACTS. Families can apply to FACTS at any time without a commitment to the school. WSS will notify families of their tuition when FACTS informs the school.
2. Yearly Tuition: This option is for those families who do not wish to complete the FACTS application. Tuition for the 2025-2026 school year is as follows: Full Program is $11,340 for the first student, $8,505 for the second student, and $5,670 for all subsequent students.

Tuition is prorated for students entering after October 1st.
ALL families then elect to pay annually, semi-annually, or monthly via FACTS, our tuition management company. A deposit of one month of tuition is due at the time of enrollment, this amount is credited to the last month of tuition.
*Part-time enrollment is available for 5-7-year-olds who can demonstrate responsibility, safety, respect, and kindness after observing their interactions during some partial-day visits.
Enrollment
When families have learned about self-directed education and are ready to pursue enrollment, they will contact the school and begin the application and enrollment process. This will involve a zoom meeting, a visit to the school, and then finalizing all the paperwork before the student begins.
This process can take some time, but we want to ensure that this is a good fit for the family, the young person, and the school as well.
