Family Responsibilities
At NVNS, families help keep tuition accessible by taking an active role in operating the school. In return, parents gain a front-row view of play-based learning, connect more deeply with their child’s growth, and become part of a vibrant, supportive community.

Tuition is due on the first of each month. Families may apply for tuition assistance.

Each family is required to hold a job for the school – such as scheduling, year book, social media, laundry, beautification – contributing at least 8 hours per semester.
