Financial Aid & Scholarships

At Seacoast Waldorf School, we believe every family who wants this education for their child should have a real path to it. We take a team approach to making tuition work, whether that's a payment plan, tiered tuition, financial aid, or a scholarship, so that no student is turned away based solely on financial concerns.
