Tell us about costs.

The tuition, room and board is the same for every student. Incidental costs may include extra-curricular trips, travel expenses, toiletries, haircuts, clothes, etc. There is no contract or obligation for any length of stay. Billing is monthly and you direct the incidental expenses.

How is the individual program decided?

You will work with our faculty and your student to choose the classes, activities and other programs to help you meet your goals.

Are there scholarships or any other sources of funding available?

At present, no. The school is not eligible for state or federal funding; however students who receive Social Security benefits do continue to be eligible for those funds. Their guardians are typically their payees.

May I speak with other families?

Absolutely.  Stewart Home & School families are happy to speak with you! They are people, who, like you, want the very best and they have experience in considering other programs.

What are your criteria for admission?

You know your student and we believe you will know what is best for your student. The admissions process requires a personal interview, completion of the application material and a decision on the part of the school as to whether we believe we can meet your student’s needs and your expectations.
