Tuition

Annual Tuition 2025 - 2026

Waldorf education, at its roots, was intended to change the world, be inclusive, and available to all who wanted it. While operating as a private school can make this challenging, New Amsterdam is committed to upholding these original impulses. We envision a New Amsterdam community that is not only warm and nurturing, but one that fully reflects the true diversity of New York City.

Financial Aid is available to assist families with the cost of tuition. Please apply via TADS, or contact our Enrollment Team.

Enrollment at New Amsterdam School runs September through June. Summer Care (July & August) is available.

All of our full-day programs include a homemade snack & hot lunch made with organic and/or local ingredients by our loving in-house chef.

Tuition can be paid in 1, 2, 4, or 10 deposits.

Sibling Discount: For families enrolling siblings, we are pleased to offer a 5% tuition discount. Kindly contact our Enrollment Team for additional information.
