We know that every family’s financial situation is different, and we don’t want cost to be a barrier to joining our community.

Living Wisdom partners with families who share the vision and values of our school’s mission, and we do our best to support those who feel deeply aligned with this approach. Tuition assistance is offered on the basis of demonstrated need as part of our effort to ensure that every student who truly belongs at Living Wisdom has the opportunity to be here. Families who are concerned about their ability to meet full tuition are encouraged to contact us directly to begin the financial aid process.
Sibling Discount
A 25% discount is offered for the youngest sibling within the same family attending Living Wisdom School or Living Wisdom High School.
Referral Tuition Credit
We deeply value the word-of-mouth referrals that help our community grow. When a new student enrolls at Living Wisdom as a result of a family referral, both families may be eligible for a $1,000 tuition credit as a gesture of our gratitude.
What Makes Living Wisdom Unique?
Spiritual Foundations
Each child’s natural spirituality is welcomed and encouraged. Through meditation, reflection, and meaningful discussion, students experience compassion and inner peace as living realities, not abstract ideals.
Individualized Learning
Teachers meet each student where
they are, adapting lessons to their pace, strengths, and interests. From personalized support to advanced mentorship, every learner is guided toward confidence and mastery.
Inspired Teachers
Our teachers model what they teach. Each is dedicated to their own growth and trained in the Education for Life philosophy, offering students living examples of wisdom, authenticity, and joy in service.
Leadership & Service
From class projects to community outreach, students are given meaningful ways to contribute. They learn that true leadership begins with self-awareness and the courage to serve others.
Small Class Sizes
Our small, family-like classrooms allow teachers to truly know each student, tuning into their unique nature and individual potential. Within this environment of genuine care, children develop a profound inner poise and a love of discovery that lasts a lifetime.
College & Career Guidance
Our counseling team takes an “inside-out” approach—helping students first discover who they are, then guiding them toward schools and paths that reflect their strengths and passions. 95% of our high school graduates continue to higher education.
