What You’ll Learn
During the workshop, Laurie and Karlena will cover:
- Tuition adjustment (TA) process (applications, review, and deadlines)
- Scholarships
The Denver Waldorf School is committed to economic diversity. The Board of Trustees, College Leadership Council, Faculty, Administration and parents work together to raise funds, volunteer, and make challenging budgetary decisions to keep tuition within the financial means of the largest possible group. We seek to establish financial relationships that are healthy for the school and the families within our community.
About Tuition Adjustment
At DWS, we recognize that many families want the inspired learning environment that an independent Waldorf education provides, and that this type of education requires a significant financial commitment. Therefore, DWS budgets a significant portion of income to our Tuition Adjustment Program, but the budgeted funds are limited. All families who wish to provide Waldorf education for their child(ren) are encouraged to seek the means to make this education a viable option.
DWS expects families to exercise their best creative efforts to use their own financial resources before turning to the Tuition Adjustment Program. It is not uncommon for a DWS family to pay 15 to 20% or more of their income for tuition. This percentage applies to both full and reduced tuition families. Tuition Adjustment is not based on willingness to pay, but on one’s ability to pay. Special circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Founded in 1974 on Rudolf Steiner’s humanitarian curriculum, DWS believes education should foster what it is to be human, cultivate lifelong curiosity, and inspire a love for the world.
