Wildcat Canyon Community School provides a life-changing Waldorf education and is one of the most beneficial investments families can make in their child’s formative years.
In a commitment to staying true to our values, Wildcat Canyon Community School (WCCS) structures tuition based on an equitable sharing of resources.
This approach allows families to request a rate of tuition that is in line with their ability to pay. We seek to create a school culture that embraces the understanding that some families pay more while others pay less so that EVERYONE can access an exceptional WCCS education.
Tuition is our primary means of providing for all of the expenses of the school—from the supplies used in the classrooms to the salaries of our faculty and staff. We are asking families to make every effort to pay as much tuition as they can, consistent with their commitment to the well-being of our School and their child’s education. If meeting any of these Tiered Tuition amounts is a hardship, you can research The BASIC Fund to see if you qualify. Applications for the BASIC Fund for the 2025-2026 Academic School Year, will open Mid-January 2025. After acceptances go out, and before signing the contract, there will be a collaborative conversation on how to make the school and family partnership work financially.
