There’s no commitment and it’s free to be on the list. We start at the top and work our way down so get on early! We ran out of space at our Richmond location. First come, first-served!
Our director of admissions will reach out to when we have a space available for your child. She’ll share the online enrollment form and help you get organized with our enrollment documents.
When you enroll, there is a $200 nonrefundable enrollment fee. After that, there is a nonrefundable recommitment fee each year of $100 before January 1 and $150 after that deadline if spots are still available. If you transfer to a different site within our family of schools, the enrollment fees for the new location apply.
At the Nature Schools, tuition is charged by the month and typically increases each year relative to the cost of living. This adjustment helps us support our teachers and maintain the engaging, nature based learning experiences your child enjoys! Tuition is not prorated for holidays, professional development days, reset weeks, or weather-related events.
For the 2027-2028 school year, full-time tuition is $830/month, part-time MWF tuition is $535/month, and part-time TTh tuition is $375/month. Siblings enrolled at the same location will receive a 10% discount beginning with the second child.
Once enrolled, our director of finance will reach out to orient you to our systems for financial processing. After enrollment, we also have a $200 quarterly farm fee. This fee is invoiced on August 1, November 1, February 1, and May 1. This fee helps supplement the cost of vet care for the animals as well as garden and grounds maintenance.
