From Application to Enrollment
School Tours
The first step in our admissions process is scheduling a tour. Tours are scheduled on Thursdays and are for adults only. If you are able, we suggest you make arrangements for your children during this time. Tours are led by our Director of Enrollment who will be able to answer all of your questions during this time.
Student Visit
During a student visit, your child will spend time with their prospective classmates. For Early Childhood classes, the parent will bring the child at a scheduled time to explore the classroom and play. For elementary and middle school students, we will contact you to schedule a classroom visit for your child.
​
Application Information
After the tour, you will receive a folder with your application along with additional information about each of our programs. A $120 non-refundable, one-time application fee is required along with the submission of your application. For students applying to grades 1-8, transcripts must be submitted with the application.
​
Acceptance, Registration, and Enrollment
Acceptance is contingent on a consensus vote by the Faculty Team. Upon acceptance, the Enrollment Director will contact your family with a list of items needed before your child can be enrolled. Some of these items are enrollment forms, a non-refundable registration fee of $170, a signed financial tuition agreement.​
Parent Interviews
Following the receipt and review of your application, we will contact you to schedule a time for a teacher and parent interview. The teacher and parent will meet to discuss classroom expectations and school policies, as well as our Community Pledge, and to ensure the school is indeed a good fit for the prospective family.
Financial
Aid
The value of a Waldorf Education at Alabama Waldorf School extends far beyond the classroom, enriching your child's experiences through a lifetime. Alabama Waldorf School is committed to working with your family to explore every opportunity to make this education possible.
