Tuition, assistance, and how to apply — it’s all right here. Here’s exactly how families become part of Wayfinders.
Apply for 2026–27 →Multiple ways to learn
Both full programs keep your child moving forward and keep you genuinely in the loop. Pick the balance of campus and home that fits your family — or build your own schedule from our core courses below.
4 days on campus · 1 guided day at home
Most school programs ask families to show up and step back. We ask you to stay in it. Four full, immersive days on campus to build core skills, collaborate, and work through real challenges — and a fifth day that belongs to your family, with teacher-guided pathway activities that extend exactly what your child has been working on. No guesswork, no scrambling.
2 days on campus · 3 days at home
For families who want school and home to be the same world. Two full days on campus building skills and working through challenges together — and three days that belong to your family. Use teacher-guided pathway activities or chart your own course around what your child is curious about. Either way, your child stays on track and goes deeper.
Build your own schedule
Math, language arts, and our challenge launchpad course together each morning — a focused core without the full-day commitment.
Project-based problem and solution development in the afternoon — layer it onto your mornings, or take it on its own.
Enroll in just the subjects you need — math, language arts, or challenge launchpad — on their own.
How to join
Four steps — no pressure, just a real conversation about whether Wayfinders is the right fit.
Read and discuss the Family Partnership Agreement, and read the student pledge with the children you hope to enroll.
Read the agreements →Come ready to talk through:
If our conversations confirm Wayfinders is the right fit — for your family and for ours — we’ll extend an enrollment invitation and send the formal documents your way. Once the Family Partnership Agreement and Wayfinder’s Pledge are signed, your child’s place is held with a $50 per-child non-refundable deposit.

The fine print
Tuition is paid by semester — Fall and Spring. Payment for each semester is due before the first day of that semester, unless other arrangements are approved in writing.
A $50 non-refundable deposit reserves your child’s place. The deposit is non-refundable under all circumstances, and a student’s space isn’t guaranteed until it’s received.
Withdraw before the first day of a semester and any tuition paid is refunded in full, minus the $50 deposit.
Once the semester starts: within the first 2 weeks, 50% of semester tuition is refunded. After the first 2 weeks, no tuition refund is issued.
Withdrawals require written notice to the administration; refund eligibility is based on the date that notice is received. If the school cancels a program, prepaid tuition for that semester is refunded in full.
Exceptions for extraordinary circumstances may be requested in writing, at the school’s discretion.
Paying for it
These scholarship programs can cover much of Wayfinders tuition. They’re independent and not affiliated with Wayfinders Academy — each sets its own rules.
An education savings account program for alternative educational expenses — tuition, curriculum, tutoring, and approved materials.
An online public charter school that provides funds to use with approved third-party providers like Wayfinders Academy.
A Utah scholarship for students with a documented disability under IDEA, administered by the Children First Education Fund.
