Admissions

 

Thank you for your interest in Cottage Forest School! At Cottage Forest School, we are committed to making our enriching educational experience accessible to as many children as possible. To begin the process, please take a moment to complete our interest form.

*Students requesting enrollment for Kindergarten must be 5 years old by Sept. 1 of the year he/she would begin school.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email us.

Interest Form

 

Enrollment applications are extended by invitation only, following the evaluation of both the interest form and accompanying questionnaire. Selected families will then be invited to tour our campus.

Please note that, due to limited space, we are only able to accept a certain number of students each year. If space is not immediately available, your child may be placed on our waitlist.

If you receive an invitation to apply and submit a completed enrollment application, you will be notified of your child’s admission status by letter beginning in mid-March for the upcoming school year.

Enrollment

 

Tuition is charged in ten equal monthly payments, August through May. The rates for the 2025-2026 school year are:

  • Kindergarten (part time, 60% of full tuition rate): $360/month

  • Grades 1-6: $600/month

  • Grades 7-8: $620/month

If enrolling more than one child from the same family, parents receive a 10% discount for two children and a 20% discount for three or more children. Discount only applies when siblings are enrolled during the same session.

A 5% discount is given for payment of the year’s tuition in advance if received by August 31 of the new school term. This discount is applied to the amount of tuition actually owed. This means any discount for Kindergarten or multiple students from the same family is applied first (when applicable), then the discount for prepayment of tuition for the school year is applied.

New Student Application Fee: $50 per student (paid with submission of application following invitation to apply)

New Student Registration Fee: $210 per student (paid within one week of receiving letter of acceptance from administration)
