Tuition Assistance Program

Westside’s Tuition Assistance Program is the biggest fundraising priority of the year and your support impacts the quality of education for every student at Westside School. This year, one in seven Westside families received tuition assistance. NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools) projects that the request for tuition assistance will increase 20% over the next three years. With uncertain times ahead, supporting the Tuition Assistance program is more important than ever to Westside’s educational program and to Westside families.

Grateful May 15, 2020 (1:14 pm)

I am so thankful that my child has had engaging daily ‘live’ interactions with her classmates and teachers during this entire quarantine. She is even jumping and running around on Zoom for PE class. Spanish, genetics lessons, algebra and all the other classes have continued seamlessly during this time. This has been invaluable while we are in this unusual time. I will be there to support tuition assistance, you bet. Thank you, Westside!

I would never have thought that remote learning would be an advantage of Westside. During Covid-19 though, it has turned into a life saver. We are amazed that Westside managed to assemble a high-quality remote learning program so quickly. Thank you, Steve and Westside staff!
