Volo needs to ask for tuition and fees to operate. 

Tuition and Fees Schedule 2025/2026

The value of an excellent education is immeasurable.

At Volo Natural Learning Community, we are committed to world-class learning. Our tuition reflects the care and expertise we invest in every aspect of our programs.

Your investment directly supports highly skilled staff, creative learning materials, safe and inspiring environments, and the unique opportunities that make Volo a transformative experience for your child. Volo provides experienced educators and immersive learning experiences that encourage deep learning, durable memories, robust friendships, and life-long confidence. We also prioritize accessibility by offering flexible payment plans and need-based scholarships.

Volo’s tuition is competitively priced compared to other educational options in the area. The Park City School District reportedly spends around $19,500 per student annually, while private schools often exceed $20,000 per year. At $15,000 for The Luminary and $16,000 for full-week programming, Volo offers a better value by combining personalized attention, small class sizes, and a fascinating nature-based curriculum that fosters creativity, resilience, and lifelong curiosity. Unlike traditional schools, Volo prioritizes hands-on, experiential learning in a dynamic environment with caring mentors.

How can we keep costs so low? We focus on what matters most for participating children. Community members donate resources and time. We augment tuition with grants for service, such as stream restoration projects. And generous supporters provide extra financial support.
