Common Questions
Do you offer sibling discounts?

What are the payment options?
CLARITY ACCOUNT Clarity Tuition is the Contracts & Billing Platform for all families, managing online enrollment and tuition agreements. Setting up your Clarity Tuition account is a required step and secures your child’s place in class, as registration is not guaranteed without a completed enrollment contract & tuition agreement. WSSD does not charge interest for monthly tuition payments; however, Clarity Tuition applies account setup fees based on your selected payment plan.
- $0 setup fee for a one-payment plan
- $25 setup fee for a two-payment plan
- $50 setup fee for a three or more payment plan
What is the monthly tuition policy?
MONTHLY TUITION POLICY Tuition is due on the 5th or 20th of each month starting in July 2025 via Clarity Tuition. If your payments are not made by the due date of each month these are the late fees that may be incurred.
- $30 late fee for payments not collected by the selected due date (WSSD).
- $25 fee for any returned ACH payments (Clarity).
If any tuition or fee payment becomes 30 days past due without an agreed-upon payment arrangement, the student(s) will not be permitted to return to class until the outstanding balance is paid or arrangements are made.
