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 through a debit or credit card (you may via check directly to the school)
2 payments in July and December
10 installments paid each month beginning in May through February via a bank account

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.

If a new family chooses the 2 or 10-payment plan option, they are also 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 their Smart Tuition account accordingly to secure their child's spot at Wilson for the following year.
