Full Time & Homeschool Hybrid Enrollment
Fort Worth Sudbury School's flexibility accommodates families looking for traditional school hours, as well as homeschooling hybrid families looking to experience the benefits of participating in our vibrant community.
Attendance Requirements
During the school year FWSS is open Monday - Friday from 8am - 4pm. Daily attendance, however, is not required. Families are able to decide which days & times to attend, and this may be different from week to week as needed. We do require, however, that students attend at least 2 days a week, and are at school by 10am on the days they are attending, so they may participate in the daily pop-in meetings.

Enrollment Process
1. Visit our school.
First, come see us in action. Fill out a contact form here or call us at 817-303-9143 to make an appointment.
2. Trial Week.
After touring the school, students participate in a trial week. During the trial students will have the opportunity to experience how a democratic school feels & sounds, how our community interacts & supports each other, and gain a better understanding of how their days at FWSS might look. We expect students to spend a great deal of time playing games, talking with peers, and getting to know the basic rules and procedures. (A non-refundable registration fee of $100 will be collected at this time.) Download the enrollment forms: Application and Registration Agreement.
3. Make it Official.
After the trial week, if a student is still interested in our school and decides to stay, School Meeting will vote them in as a formal student member. Parents will pay the remaining of the month's tuition.

Tuition
For each family there is a $300 monthly enrollment fee plus an additional monthly student fee ($100 per student 11 and under and $75 per student 12 and over). For a family with one student enrolled tuition would be $400 per month, a family with two students would pay $500 and so on. However, Fort Worth Sudbury relies on volunteers and tuition may be offset by hours volunteered by parents/guardians in service of the school and students. Tuition is reduced at a rate of $8.00 per hour volunteered. For example, annual tuition for a single student based on monthly volunteer hours are as follows;
- Hours volunteered per month: 0 Annual tuition: $4,000 ($400/mo x 10 months)
- Hours volunteered per month: 16 Annual tuition: $2,720 ($272/mo x 10 months)
- Hours volunteered per month: 32 Annual tuition: $1,440 ($144/mo x 10 months)
