Fees

Application Fee

$50 non-refundable

 

Affiliation and Equipment Fees

Your Affiliation and Equipment Fee supports your child's education as follows:

Roughly, 50% of the fee goes to your child’s class teacher to spend on the year’s class supplies and any necessary classroom furniture and equipment (i.e.chairs, desks). In the case of the early childhood and mixed age kindergarten classes, some of this money will be allotted to the food budget. These fees are evaluated each year and are subject to change from one year to the next. The other 50% is divided up between the purchase/maintenance of equipment and consumables within the overall school budget and the school’s membership dues for AWSNA (Association of Waldorf Schools of North America) and WECAN (Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America). It also pays for the evaluation of our program and teachers by WECAN, and other AWSNA approved evaluators necessary to maintain accreditation as a developing member school. NOTE: The Affiliation & Equipment Fee will not be refunded once school has begun.

 

Tuition Insurance Fee

$150 non-refundable

A non-refundable tuition insurance fee will be required each year per student. These monies will be placed into a restricted fund that can only be transferred to operational funds to be used by Prairie Moon under certain circumstances if a family leaves before paying their contract in full. Tuition insurance is to help Prairie Moon offset uncollected tuition. Families will still be contractually liable for all tuition due according to the tuition insurance plan and the signed contract.
