Tuition Adjustment Program And Application Deadline

The Waldorf School Orange County is grateful for its ability to offer a comprehensive Tuition Adjustment Program. This wonderful program enables us to provide a Waldorf Education to families that deeply value it, regardless of their ability to pay the full tuition. It encourages socio-economic diversity while making a Waldorf education more accessible to families of varying economic backgrounds.

This year’s Tuition Adjustment Program application deadline was March 2024 for the school year ending June 2025. If you are experiencing delays in obtaining documents or meeting with tax advisors, please contact the business office for an extension.
