Rivendell has two financial support programs that families can apply for:
Supporting Our Community—One Family at a Time
At Rivendell School, we understand that life can bring unexpected changes—and that finances shouldn't stand in the way of a child’s education.
We have two programs offering need-based financial support for current and prospective families facing financial challenges. Our goal is to ensure that more children can continue to thrive in the individualized, engaging learning environment that makes Rivendell special.
Rivendell Family Financial Support Program
Funding for the 2026-2027 school year has been closed. Please contact Karen Wolff, CFO to inquire further.
Our Approach: Rooted in Care and Responsibility
We’ve designed this program around core values that reflect who we are as a community:
Empathy & Understanding
Every family’s story is unique. We listen with care and compassion.
Confidentiality & Respect
Your privacy matters. All information shared is strictly confidential.
Open & Honest Communication
We’re here to partner with you and offer support every step of the way.
Fairness & Consistency
We aim for a transparent, equitable process for all applicants.
Sustainable Stewardship
Each year, we assess our available aid budget to support as many families as possible while maintaining the long-term health of our school community.
We’re here to help—because when our families thrive, our entire community thrives.
