Tuition Enrollment

The following is an excerpt from the Parent/Student Handbook.

A Student is classified as a tuition student if the parents or legal guardian are not legally domiciled in the Town of Waterville Valley, if not classified as a Town resident by the Town residency list.

Waterville Valley Elementary School will accept tuition students who are not domiciled in the Waterville Valley School District only under the following circumstances:
  1. Total enrollment in grades K-8 does not exceed 45 students;
  2. Enrollment in the room (the combined classroom, not the grade) in which the student seeks placement does not exceed 15 students;
  3. Enrollment in the grade in which the student seeks placement does not exceed five (5) students; and
  4. The student’s needs can be well served by the budgeted Waterville Valley Elementary School staff and programs.
  5. Individuals who are accepted as tuition students must have an annual tuition contract signed by their parents and/or guardians.
Tuition for 2010-20011
$8,000.00

Final decisions on accepting tuition students will be made by the Waterville Valley Elementary School Board upon recommendation from the Principal and renewed annually.

Parents interested in tuitioning students to WVES are to contact the school office for an application. References and an interview are also part of the process.

Students are considered for acceptance on a first come, first serve basis.

Winter Students and full time students’ requests are considered equally.

The Waterville Valley Elementary School Board reviews this policy and tuition schedule on an annual basis during the budget process.
