DescriptionThe Willow School offers an integrated curriculum which allows students to learn material in great depth as well as to see the connections that naturally exist among subject areas. The primary device for integration of the curriculum is the development of communication skills using the English language. Parallel to that usage is the study of French from kindergarten through fourth grade, and a choice of Spanish or French from fifth through eighth grades. While the disciplines of mathematics and science, and of language and social studies, are often connected at The Willow School, it is also important for children to learn, for instance, how scientific and technological advances have shaped the ways humans relate to each other or how the use of mathematics determines the design of music and architecture. All learning is spiral, as the child returns to skills and subject matter once presented but now more complex and challenging.The school educates 207 students and provides tuition grants for 30 STUDENTS.Description

ExplanationSchedule I, Part I, Line 2: Criteria for Awarding Financial Aid The Willow School abides by the National Association of Independent School's Principles of Good Practice for Financial Aid Administration. In accordance with these practices, the Willow School awards financial aid grants based upon the financial need of a family. These grants are supported by the school's budget and demonstrate the school's commitment to enroll a socioeconomically diverse student population. The Willow School uses Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) for tuition assistance to determine a family's eligibility for financial aid. Copies of a family's current year tax forms are due on April 15th for verification. TADS reports will provide the Willow School Financial Aid Committee with confidential, secure, and detailed information to enable us to make fair and equitable decisions on financial aid awards. Parents are required to complete a Parent's Financial Statement (PFS) annually. In order to receive priority consideration, current families must adhere to and complete the entire financial aid procedure by the stated deadlines. For parents who are separated, divorced, or have never been married; The Willow School requires that a complete financial aid application be submitted by each parent (IRS 1040, PFS). Failure to submit all forms will result in delaying the review of a student's application and will be considered incomplete. It is expected that parents, guardians, domestic partners, and/or step-parents of Willow School students, play an appropriate role in financing a students education. Note: If you have not completed your tax returns, check the Estimated box on the PFS. A copy of final taxes is required before an award is official. Non-working parents The Willow School assumes that all adult family members will work to contribute to the investment of a Willow School education. Families with pre-school aged children or unusual situations should make the financial aid committee aware of their circumstances. In evaluating the amount of aid needed to meet tuition costs, the Financial Aid Committee considers the family's other children (ages and the schools they attend), additional dependents, all sources of income, priority of spending, debts and expenses. Renewal is based on continued financial need; tax returns must be submitted each year. All financial aid awards are contingent upon payment in full of the prior yeas account. Computation of Family Contribution In determining whether or not a family is eligible, a number of factors are considered such as: family size, parent's age, unusual expenses, and retirement provisions. It should be clearly understood that lifestyle choices that result in increased expenses or decreased income cannot be underwritten by the Financial Aid Program at The Willow School. Upon receiving the recommendation from TADS, we reserve the right to accept their recommendation or amend it using documentation that is more extensive documentation. Appeals Appeals to the Financial Aid Committee must be made prior to returning the signed enrollment contract. All appeals must be made in writing with a full explanation of any unusual circumstances and information not addressed during the initial process. The appeal will be reviewed by the committee and the decision will be submitted to the family in writing. If a family's circumstance changes dramatically after enrollment contracts are submitted, please contact the Business Office to discuss. Confidentiality All financial aid records at The Willow School are kept strictly confidential. These records are reviewed by the Director of Business and Finance, the Director of Admissions and the Head of School to determine eligibility. All financial aid awards are highly confidential between the family and the School. The members of the financial aid committee consider financial aid awards confidential and families are not to discuss financial aid information with any other party other than a member of the financial aid committee.Explanation
