DEPOSIT: A non-refundable, non-transferable deposit of one-tenth of the total tuition is due by the date indicated on your family’s offer email to secure your child(ren)’s place(s) at Evergreen Garden School. 

ENROLLMENT PROCESS

EGS enrolls year-round from our waitlist, depending on available space. To get on the waitlist, send in an application. Applying is free.

In January of each year re-enrollment forms are sent to current families; once those are received, an initial roster for the upcoming school year (September through May) is created. Places are then offered via email to new families on the waitlist. EGS weighs the date applied alongside age and gender of applicants, with the goal of keeping as balanced a roster as possible. Siblings receive priority for enrollment.

Families who have received offer letters for the upcoming school year complete tuition contracts in February; deposits are due in May for returning families, and upon registration acceptance for new students. There is a one-time registration fee per child of $100.00.

FINANCIAL AID

A limited amount of Financial Aid is available for families for whom tuition cost is prohibitive. Aid will be distributed or earmarked on a first-come, first-served basis to families who demonstrate financial need. This community resource is supported by individual donors with a special thanks to the Hummingbird fund for their generous contributions.

Please email office@evergreengardenschool.com to inquire about Financial Aid availability and fill out our Financial Aid Application.
