Typical out-of-pocket
After-school families are first in line. A limited number of seats remain for new families.
Building things — together, on purpose.
What “Founding” actually means
You're not enrolling in a school. You're helping build one.
Most schools you can apply to already exist. Their colors are chosen. Their traditions are set. Their character is fixed.
SWREA opens Fall 2026 as a brand-new Montessori K–5 day school — sponsored by a 58-year-old congregation, but with its own rhythms, vocabulary, and even school colors still being formed.
Founding Families don't just sign up. They show up. They weigh in. And they get to point at the school years from now and say: we helped make this.
What Founding Families get
Four commitments we've made to you.
01
A guaranteed roster spot.
When you accept your Founding Class invitation, your seat is held. No waitlist roulette.
02
Input on the things that make a school.
School colors, mascot, traditions, year-one community events — Founding Families help shape them.
03
A Founding Family forum.
An exclusive monthly gathering with Pastor Tim and faculty during the launch year. Voice in early decisions.
04
Zero out-of-pocket via Step Up.
We'll walk you through the FES-EO or FTC application alongside your enrollment. Most families pay $0.
Capacity
Only 24 children get to be Founding Class.
