Tuition and Affording WSP

Investing in
Your Child’s Future

You’re choosing more than a school – you’re choosing a family journey. We appreciate the significance of this investment and honor the trust of our applicant families.

Our tuition reflects what we offer: small classes, master teachers, a rich arts-and-sciences curriculum, and learning spaces designed for whole-child growth.

We also recognize that many families, across income levels, need support to make this possible. We’re committed to access through need-based tuition adjustment for families who share our values, so mission fit – not means – guides the path to WSP.

Tuition Support That Reflects Real Life

WSP offers tuition adjustment (our version of financial aid) to families who demonstrate need. This is a confidential, values-based process—not a competition. Each year, we allocate over $1.5M in tuition adjustment to support economic diversity in our community.

We encourage all interested families to apply.
Many of our current families—including tech professionals, artists, educators, and entrepreneurs—receive tuition support.

We work with Clarity, a secure third-party platform, to help assess what level of tuition works for your family’s financial situation.

Affordability Profiles

Applying for Tuition Adjustment

WSP families participating in the Tuition Adjustment program contribute a range of tuition depending on their economic situation. The following family profiles represent the broad range of family household and financial circumstances and examples of corresponding adjusted tuition.

A chart with multiple profiles and their financial information, including tuition assistance for one and two children, household income, and net assets, with color-coded bars representing different ranges for each category.

WSP partners with Clarity to streamline Tuition Adjustment applications for families and carefully assess each family’s financial situation. You will need to authorize Clarity to directly download and verify your tax returns from the IRS to complete this process. The application can take as little as 30 minutes to complete. 

The priority deadline for applying for Tuition Adjustment for the 2025-2026 school year is February 18, 2025.

To begin, create an account on Clarity. There is a $60 application fee. Clarity automatically waives the fee for applicants meeting their income level guidelines. If you need assistance, please reach out to our Director of Finance and Operations.

If you need support during the process of completing your application, Clarity offers email and phone support, in both English and Spanish. Clarity also hosts several Application Info Webinars for families.
