Keeping our preschool affordable for as many families as possible is critical to our mission. On the other hand, we have many families who would like to do more to support the school and have the financial means to do so. To that end, we introduced a sliding scale tuition in 2022.
What does this mean? We are asking families making above a specific household income level (purely on the honor system) to pay a higher monthly tuition rate. The income threshold is 120% of the median household income for a family of four in metro Portland. For 2022-23, this figure is $115,000. For families making over this amount, we will charge tuition that is 150% of the baseline. For the upcoming 2023-24 school year, this works out to the following monthly amounts:
2 Day Class Tuition: $190/month base tuition or $285/month higher income tuition
3 Day Class Tuition: $285/month base tuition or $428/month higher income tuition
