Admissions

All students are eligible for admission without regard to sex, race, or economic, social, or religious background. Financial aid is available.

Decisions for admission are made on a rolling basis as long as space is available. Admission is not automatic. Sometimes the school as a whole or a particular grade level fills to capacity, and then interested families are placed on a waiting list. There is a rare occasion when it seems evident to us that a child either would not benefit from what we have to offer or would divert too much of the teachers' time and energy from other students.

All students are admitted for a six-week probationary period. If, during that time, it becomes clear to us that the school is not able to meet the needs of the child, the family will be asked to withdraw. This would be an extremely unusual occurrence, however. Space permitting and assuming no disqualifying problems have been identified, families able and willing to meet financial obligations and willing to commit their fair share of time and effort to the school can count on a warm West Branch welcome.

Tuition

How much does a West Branch School education cost?

Money for salaries and operational expenses comes from tuition payments and fundraising activities conducted by parents.

All levels (K - 8 grades) are the same. There is a tuition discount for a second and subsequent children in school. Tuition payments can be made annually, semi-annually, or on a monthly basis during the school year.

West Branch School has a strong commitment to diversity. We encourage students from varied backgrounds and economic levels. We offer varying levels of tuition assistance.
