Looking Ahead Together: Tuition, Stability, and Our Shared Commitment

As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, we want to take a moment to share where things stand at Voyagers’ Community School—and, just as importantly, why.

First and foremost, there are no tuition increases for 2026–2027. In fact, in a climate where educational costs continue to rise, K–12 tuition has been reduced and will remain under $25,000 for the coming school year. This decision reflects careful planning, responsible stewardship, and deep respect for the trust families place in us year after year. It also reflects our belief that access to thoughtful, relationship-based education should remain attainable for families who value this work.

For some families, this may be the first time you’re learning about this change, and we wanted to name it clearly and transparently. Families paying $25,000 or more will see this reduction reflected in their tuition for the 2026–2027 school year.

We’re also grateful to share that retention across the school is at a record high. Only one K–12 student is transitioning to public high school—a choice we fully support and celebrate as part of that child’s growth. Among our preschool community, two students are moving on to public kindergarten and one family is exploring alternative school options. Overall, this represents a 92% retention rate, a powerful indicator of stability, belonging, and strong partnership between families and school.

Across all divisions—Preschool, K–12, and SAIL—our financial decisions are guided by alignment between values and reality. In preschool, tuition remains stable and competitive by design. Early childhood programs operate under specific regulations that require low teacher-to-student ratios, and we intentionally offer salaries that attract and retain skilled, dedicated educators. These commitments ensure consistency, care, and quality for our youngest learners—and they require a tuition structure that supports them sustainably.

For our K–12 program, thoughtful restructuring and long-range planning have allowed us not only to hold tuition steady, but to reduce it—while continuing to prioritize small class sizes, meaningful learning experiences, and the deeply relational model that defines Voyagers’.

We share this not simply as an update, but as a reflection of who we are: a school that plans carefully, leads transparently, and makes decisions with children, families, and educators at the center. As always, families who feel called to support the long-term accessibility and sustainability of our model may do so through financial contributions that strengthen our shared work.

Thank you for being part of this community. Your continued partnership allows us to remain steady, intentional, and deeply human in all that we do.
