    assessment of your child’s needs. Any and all parent(s)/guardian(s) are encouraged to attend.

    This interview will help you become acquainted with our school and Waldorf

    education and to share information about your child and family.  We ask that you please read our Valley of the Flowers Kinder Handbook so you may bring any questions at this time.  

  3. Second Interview: If needed, a second interview may be scheduled to further our

    conversation.

  4. Enrollment: After a decision is reached by the whole faculty, the parent(s)/guardian(s) will be notified and an appointment will be set up with the enrollment coordinator to discuss your tuition contract and determine your start date.  The last month's tuition deposit will be required for enrollment due by May 15th, 2024. If enrolling in June, July, or August the above monthly prices will reflect an increase in order that your yearly tuition payment is received in full by the end of the school year. In addition to the registration paperwork we will need to get either certificate of immunization or a religious exemption or medical exemption from vaccines for all students.

Admissions Policies

Valley of the Flowers School is a non-profit Waldorf inspired school (we are working towards certification).  It admits students of any race, sex, religion, ethnic or national origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities offered to students at the school.

We aim to admit students who are and whose families are a good fit for the school rather than admitting students on a first come, first served basis.
