Enrollment Commitment & Withdrawal
Indexed Tuition & Financial Aid
The enrollment deposit is non-refundable.
Enrollment represents a commitment for the full academic year.
Withdrawal policies, including any associated financial obligations, are outlined in the enrollment contract.
Roots Academy offers a limited amount of indexed tuition and need-based financial aid to support families for whom full tuition may present a barrier.
Indexed tuition is determined through a confidential application process and is reviewed annually. Because available funds are limited, not all requests can be met.
Families interested in applying for indexed tuition or financial aid are encouraged to indicate this during the application or re-enrollment process.
