THE QUESTION OF AFFORDABILITY
Meet the Johnson Family.
They first discovered Waldorf School of DuPage in 2012, when their oldest was in second grade. Although they were doing school at home with a Waldorf influence, they wanted to know if there was a Waldorf school in the Chicago suburbs. When they found The Waldorf School of DuPage they initially stumbled over the price tag. With one income from a non profit organization, the thought of putting one kid--let alone the second--into a private school was overwhelming.
It took three years for the Johnsons to finally pick up the phone and call the school. After a wonderful conversation and hearing more about the education model of a Waldorf school, the Johnsons were very honest about their financial situation and their fear of not being able to afford The Waldorf School of DuPage. They decided to attend a school tour and knew that this would be a good fit for their children. Going through the admissions process, the Johnsons finally enrolled their daughter into 5th grade--three years after that first interaction with The Waldorf School of DuPage--and their son into the early childhood program.
While a lot has changed in regards to the Johnsons' income, they now have three children enrolled in the school and they still rely on tuition assistance to make this education choice a possibility. To show you this could be an option for your family too, here's how it works for them:
