Admissions
We’re excited that you’re considering Tidalwood School for your family! Our admissions process is simple, transparent, and designed to help you learn whether Tidalwood is the right fit for your child.
Our Admissions Process
Step 1: Schedule a Visit
Come tour our school, meet our educators, and see how learning comes alive at Tidalwood.
Step 2: Family Conversation & Student Interview
We’ll spend time talking with you and your child to understand their strengths, areas for growth, challenges, needs, and interests. This helps us build a complete picture of who they are as a learner.
Step 3: Enrollment
If Tidalwood feels like the right fit, we’ll walk you through the enrollment process and welcome your family into our community.
Rolling Admission
We know every family’s journey looks different, which is why Tidalwood offers rolling admissions. This means students can join us at any point during the school year, rather than waiting for a traditional start date.
Benefits for families include:
-
Flexibility: Enroll when the time is right for your family.
-
Smooth Transitions: Students are welcomed into our small, supportive community with personalized attention, making mid-year starts feel natural and comfortable.
-
Individualized Support: Our small class sizes and tailored instruction help new students integrate quickly, both academically and socially.
Tuition
We’re committed to keeping Tidalwood accessible for families. Tuition is structured to support a variety of needs, making it possible for more children to thrive in our community.
