Tuition & Fees
⚖️
The team has been very thoughtful about how we can balance funding an excellent program while making Wilderland accessible to our greater community.
Fees
Wilderland charges no application or materials fees. To reserve a space for the next academic year, families are asked to pay a $250 deposit, which will go towards their tuition.
Monthly Tuition
Multiply the prices below by nine months (Sep-May) for the annual tuition.
📌 The Utah Fits All scholarship covers the full cost—no extra payment needed.
$1k
Full-Time (5 Days a Week), Holistic Elementary Education
MTWTh 8:30a-3:30p, F 8:30a-1p
$720
Part-Time (3 Days a Week), Holistic Elementary Education
Any 3 Days (consistent week to week)
🧠
Homeschoolers with the Utah Fits All scholarship can receive the maximum funds of $8k by partnering with a microschool to oversee their education. Without this partnership, they only receive $4k. Learn more →

Refund Policy
To give all students at Wilderland the highest chance of success, families who join Wilderland are expected to pledge commitment for the full academic year (or the remainder of the year if they join midway). In the extraordinary circumstance that Wilderland determines that a child is not a good fit after enrollment, arrangements will be made to refund the family, prorated to the number of weeks attended.
Although the Registration Deposit is "non-refundable," we will still refund the deposit if Wilderland has determined that your child is not a good fit for the school, or you have found the school experience to be materially different from what was promised.
📌
We want every parent who feels that their child would thrive at Wilderland to be able to send them. Please review all the following resources to reduce out-of-pocket costs, and don’t be shy about applying for Wilderland’s need-based scholarships.

Government Funding
Because it can be difficult for many parents to justify paying tuition when there is a "free" option (public school) available, we accept Utah state government scholarships that cover the full cost. See below for the options offered by our state.
Wilderland Scholarships
We recognize that not all families have the ability to pay tuition, so in the spirit of inclusivity, we also have scholarships available. We encourage people of all backgrounds to apply, as we believe strongly in the value and strength of diversity.
Needs-based Scholarships
After a family’s ability to provide professional services has been reviewed and calculated, and the family believes they are still not able to pay the balance of their tuition, they can apply for a Needs-based Scholarship.
Needs-based Scholarships will be granted on a case-by-case basis, after reviewing two figures (household income and number of children) as well as any other pertinent information (e.g. a family member’s diagnosis of cancer) that could make tuition payments financially prohibitive. The Wilderland Board will convene to review all applications and determine the total scholarship package available for the student.
