Neskowin Valley School enrolls children of diverse backgrounds, interests, and
talents.  Because we believe a child thrives in a well-chosen learning environment, our
admissions process gives time for the school, parents and student to get to know each
other. We consider the child’s learning style, academic interest and needs, looking for
qualities that suggest a good fit with our learning-teaching philosophy.


Considering the individual’s academic, emotional, and social maturity, NVS seeks to
admit students who exhibit intellectual and creative potential and demonstrate a
growing skill for self-directed learning and working harmoniously with others.
Admission is granted on the basis of the school’s ability to enhance the growth of the
child and the child’s ability to enrich the school community, as well as a determination
that the family’s educational philosophy is consistent with that of the school.  Priority
in admissions is given to children of the staff and children with siblings in the school.    
Admissions Procedure
Each year financial assistance is awarded to families that could not attend NVS without
this assistance. The school uses the services of the
School and Student Service for
Financial Aid (SSS) to process applications. An application for financial assistance can be
downloaded from below and is available online through this link,

The formulas used to calculate how much a family can contribute to education are
complex and extenuating circumstances, including income, assets, family size, number
of children, and number of children attending tuition-charging schools, are all taken into
account. Families who qualify typically receive a tuition reduction of 5-40%.

Our Financial Assistance Committee reviews applications and results from School and
Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) and determines financial assistance awards.
All information made available to this committee is confidential.
