Admissions
We at Cottage Forest School want to provide this valuable education to as many children as possible. However, due to space limitations, we have only a certain number of seats available. If you wish to place your child(ren) on our waiting list, fill out and submit an application here.
*Students requesting enrollment for Kindergarten must be 5 years old by Sept. 1 of the year he/she would begin school. If parents would like to have their students considered for early Kindergarten enrollment, the child must turn 5 by Dec. 1 of the year of enrollment. These requests are evaluated on a case by case basis as space allows.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email us.
Waiting List
Enrollment applications are by invitation only after a waitlist applicant has been evaluated and adequate space is available. If you have submitted an application for a new student enrollment, you will be notified by letter beginning in mid-March regarding acceptance for the following 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.
Additional fees (not included in discounts):
New Student Application Fee: $50 per student (paid with submission of application following invitation to apply)
New Student Registration Fee: $200 per student (paid within one week of receiving letter of acceptance from administration)
Materials Fee: $90/semester (billed in August and January)
