Interested in joining SAINT LOUIS SUDBURY SCHOOL?

Step 1: Educate yourself about Sudbury model schools. Read, watch, and/or listen to information about this unique approach to learning. Discover our school’s philosophy and read our FAQ.

Step 2: Schedule an in-person tour (see form below) during a school day! Bring your questions. We recommend that the whole family attend if possible. Inquiries about tuition assistance are welcomed. An initial virtual meeting is an option as well (the student is not required to attend this chat). Note: an in-person tour is a required step of the admissions process.

Step 3: Visiting Week! If both the family and Saint Louis Sudbury School feels like we might be a good fit for each other, a student is invited to experience the school in action for one week. The visiting student has all the rights (other than the right to vote) and responsibilities of an enrolled student. The Visiting Week is $175/child.* (This payment can be applied as a credit toward a new enrollment contract.) At the end of the Visiting Week, an admissions interview takes place with the student, family, and Sudbury staff to determine whether all are comfortable with enrolling. A second visiting week may be scheduled if appropriate.

Step 4: Enrollment. Different tuition options and tuition assistance are discussed at a meeting with the family, a Sudbury staff member, and the enrollment clerk. Students who join us during the school year have prorated tuition. Each enrollment contract begins with a one-month practice period with check-in meetings after two weeks and after four weeks to make sure that there is a good fit among the student, the school, and the family.

* Financial assistance for the Visiting Week may be available.
