DWS is committed to doing what we can to support families who now believe they may no longer be able to afford a Waldorf education due to a change in their financial situation. Our new Stand Together Assistance Relief (STAR) Fund will offer on-time need-based financial relief for the 2020-2021 school year. Offering relief is done with a sense of deep commitment to our families and community.
