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.
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, SSS Apply Now.
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.
To apply to Neskowin Valley School we ask that you:
___1. A school visitation appointment (call to set up)
___2. Reading the NVS information packet
___3. Complete application form
___4. $50 (non-refundable) application fee (with application)
___5. Most recent school report
___6. Teacher recommendation from most recent classroom teacher
___7. One piece of tangible work from student (art project, poetry, research project, etc)
___8. Parent meeting (scheduled by NVS)
___9. Student classroom visitation (scheduled by NVS)
Admissions decisions will be made following completion of the admissions procedures listed above. If your child is accepted and you have decided to enroll him/her, you
will need to submit a signed enrollment contract and make a non-refundable 10% tuition deposit (which will be applied to your tuition balance).
Tuition covers only a portion of the actual cost for educating a child at NVS. We make up the difference with fundraising events, donations to our Annual Fund, and foundation support.
