We encourage all parents to attend and get involved! For more information, please send a message to pa@wilsonschool.com. 

Tuition Payments, Insurance, and Continuous Enrollment

The Wilson School utilizes Smart Tuition for tuition payment services which connects directly to your family MyWilson account.  Families may choose from the following payment options:
​
  • 1 payment in full by July 1 via check, a debit, or credit card
  • 2 payments in July and February
  • 10 installments paid each month beginning in May through February via automatic debit
    ​
​New families are asked to pay a 10% deposit based on the tuition owed plus a $75 Parents' Association fee and a yearly $50 annual Smart Tuition maintenance fee.

New families who opt for the 2 or 10-payment plan option are required to purchase Dewar Tuition insurance (2.6% of the tuition owed which is added to your tuition bill) for the first year they enroll at Wilson. The cost of the insurance is automatically added to the first tuition payment. After the first year, the insurance program is optional for all families.

Continuous Enrollment is implemented after a family's first year at Wilson. Instead of signing a contract each year, families are asked to indicate their intent only if opting-out by the deadline (early February). An enrollment fee of $650 is charged to a family's Smart Tuition account in March to secure their child's spot at Wilson for the coming school year.
