Discount policy: A 10% discount will be applied to each student’s tuition (and your school’s contribution, if any) when two or more teachers from one school are enrolled (in any Sunbridge program) at the same time during one academic year. We also offer 10% discounts for tuition paid with CAD (combinable, when appropriate, with our “volume” discount). Please note that discounts are applied after any financial aid has been awarded.
*Sunbridge Third-Year Grant: Beginning with the Class of 2027 and going forward, the Sunbridge Board has designated a Third-Year grant to be awarded to graduating WETE (Waldorf Elementary Teacher Education) program students.
- Students receive half the grant credited to their last tuition payment
- The remaining half is sent as a check after commencement. If any assignments/fieldwork are still outstanding, this check will be sent once the work is completed, as long as that completion happens within 12 months of your original graduation date. If not, the remaining half will be forfeited.
- This grant, valued at $1,000 for students enrolled in the full 25-month WETE program, will be pro-rated for WETE Completion Track and transfer students
- Contact [email protected] for full details
Books: Books are purchased independently; the program’s estimated total for book expenses is $400.
Billing & Payment: You will be billed before each term, with payment due no later than one week prior to the start of that term. To pay your tuition, log into your Sunbridge account, go to Billing/Current bill/Make payment/Other amount, enter the amount due (per your invoice or payment agreement), and choose your payment method. Note: If you pay by check, “direct debit” is the digital equivalent. Credit card payment requires a 3% processing fee. There is no fee for direct debit payments.
