For Current Students

Tuition agreements for currently enrolled children will be provided to all families on Wednesday, February 1st, 2023. 

Families who would like to maintain their child’s spot in our programs, have until Wednesday, February 15th to return their:

• signed tuition agreement
• registration deposit ($250 per child to a maximum of $500)

ATP applications must be returned by Tuesday, February 28th. 

We have a limited number of spaces and program options in each of our early years classes and they are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. We strongly encourage you to return your tuition agreement as soon as possible after receiving it.

If the tuition agreement is not returned by February 15th, the spot is no longer held. 

After February 15th spots will be offered to applicants in the wait pool. 

Siblings of Current Students

If you have a sibling of an enrolled student who is not currently enrolled at LWS and you are interested in submitting an application, please contact our Manager of Admissions and Retention as soon as possible. 

New Families

We are currently accepting inquiries for all programs. It is highly recommended that if you wish to apply, that you do so as soon as possible. Please complete an inquiry form!  

For All New Applications

All new applications will be placed in the Wait Pool until a spot becomes available, at which time you will be invited to an Admissions Interview*. After the interview, students accepted into the program will be offered a spot in the program.

*Prior to the Admissions Interview, you will be sent an Application Questionnaire to complete. This is also when your non-refundable application fee of $150 is due.

Families are required to complete a financial contract and submit a deposit of $250 per child up to a maximum of $500 per family within 3 business days of receiving the tuition agreement in order to secure their space in class. The tuition adjustment process may be entered into at this point if required.

Unsecured spaces will be opened to the wait pool.

Families in the wait pool will be notified as soon as a space becomes available.  At any time, a family could ascertain the position of their child in the wait pool without violating the privacy and confidentiality of others.

Accessible Tuition Program (ATP)

NEW FAMILIES

The ATP process is initiated once a child has been accepted to the school and a tuition agreement has been signed. This process may take several weeks. The fee adjustment conversation must take place and the contract must be finalized before the child(ren) join(s) the class.

Wait Pool Policy

London Waldorf School has written this policy with the following considerations in mind: fair and timely assessment of applications, and creating healthy classes with a view to long-term enrollment stability.  We do not accept fees to be placed in our wait pool.

Parents with children on the waitlist and whose applications are under consideration are encouraged to learn more about Waldorf education and to attend parent education talks and introductory events.

Programs offered at London Waldorf School have limited spaces available, and as such, we are not always able to accommodate all applicants. In order to ensure we do not exceed our capacity in a given program, applications for the next school year, as well as mid-year applications for full classes, are placed in a wait pool.

Regulations in our CCEYA-legislated Licensed Care Programs and London Waldorf School policies affect various aspects of the number and make-up of each classroom environment, thereby affecting the wait pool.

Generally, the school utilizes the following criteria to determine the wait pool ranking:

1. Students already enrolled in licensed care, kindergarten or grades programs on December 31st will have first priority in the program recommended by their child’s teacher for the subsequent year. The teacher will consult with the parents prior to making this recommendation.
2. Parents of currently enrolled students who wish to newly enrol a sibling in our school’s regular program (not including those attending our Home Schooling Visitor Day or the Parent and Child classes)  and faculty members wishing to newly enroll their child will have second priority.
3. Third priority is given to families of children who enrol in the current year after December 31st, but before February 1st.
4. Fourth priority is extended to students enrolled in our Home Schooling Visitor Day or Parent and Child classes.
5. Families who are new to the school are given fifth priority.

Access to Wait Pool

Families who have chosen to be placed in a wait pool may contact the Manager of Admissions and Retention to inquire about the current composition of the wait pool for their student’s age level. In order to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of all families in the wait pool, access to the full wait pool will not be permitted.
