Tuition Assistance
Availability
Tuition assistance is available for students in Blue Door (K/1) through Purple Door (4/5).

50% may be made.
To Apply for Tuition Assistance
You may also make an appointment with the Head of School to discuss the Tuition Assistance process.
To be eligible for consideration for tuition assistance, you must submit all requested material by March 1st, for returning students. Late applications will be considered only if funds remain. Decisions about tuition assistance will be included in your child’s enrollment contract.
School and Student Services (SSS) and TADS will continue to process our tuition assistance applications. Based on the financial information you provide, SSS and TADS will report to us an estimated amount your family can contribute toward tuition. This estimate helps us make fair and objective tuition assistance decisions.
​
To complete your tuition assistance application for the coming school year, please submit the following items directly to SSS by March 1:
​
1. Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS)

Tuition assistance awards are annual; a family must apply each year they seek tuition support. Families can expect that tuition assistance award levels will be consistent year-to-year as long as the financial need of the family remains relatively the same, the application deadlines are met, and the financial resources of the school remain strong.

Questions regarding tuition assistance at The Family School should be directed to Julianne Tullis-Thompson, Head of School, at juliannett@syvfamilyschool.org or (805) 688-5440.
