PK/JK monthly tuition is calculated on an attendance period that runs concurrently with the School's academic/holiday calendar starting the day after Labor Day with Orientation, and ending mid-June. Tuition is determined by the number of weeks students are in School (36) then divided equally into 10 monthly payments paid regardless of declared holidays and school closures that fall within the month of payment. Summer programs are offered at rates comparable to regular academic year program. Enrollment in a week or more of summer camp is highly recommended for new students as a "warm up" to school.

tuition assistance
The Warren-Walker Fund
Warren-Walker School offers tuition assistance through "Gulls Nest", an Annual Fund initiative. The Fund continues to grow through the generosity of our many benefactors, including parents and alumni. Tuition assistance provides an opportunity for academically qualified children of varying social and economic backgrounds to attend Warren-Walker School.
General Guidelines for Tuition Assistance:
- only one application is required per family and must include all siblings making application
- only students entering Kindergarten-8th grades are eligible to receive tuition assistance
- parents who are divorced, separated, or have never been married, must complete an application for each household, regardless of custodial arrangement
- there is an expectation that when all children in an applicant household reach school age, both parents will be gainfully employed
- the income and resources of both parents and/or stepparents is considered when determining the level of assistance
- applicants are encouraged to explain special circumstances in the designated area provided on the application in order to give the tuition assistance committee a clear picture of a family’s financial situation
- admission decisions are independent of the tuition assistance process, but every effort is made to run them concurrently. If not, extensions may be made to the deadlines imposed on the return of an enrollment contract pending a final disposition regarding tuition assistance
Prospective Families
Because we strive to allocate our resources wisely and fairly, we work with Independent School Management’s Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) program, which provides a need-based analysis that includes a recommendation of what a family should reasonably contribute toward tuition. All information from FAST is kept confidential. Results are reviewed and determined by a Tuition Assistance Committee based on next year’s operating budget. Upon approval, offers of assistance are then sent to families.

application per family is needed, even if you have several children applying to Warren-Walker School. NOTE: parents who are divorced, separated, or have never been married, must complete an application for each household, regardless of custodial arrangement. You will set a unique username and password so that you may save information and return to it at a later date before submitting your application if you wish. Online e-mail and a 24/7 helpline is provided.
- Unless an extension is granted or you are a late applicant, the online submission deadline is February 15.
