- Families who have more than one student attending Winston will receive a 5% sibling discount applied to the lower tuition rate. This discount does not apply to families who receive tuition assistance.
- For example, if a family has a 9th grade student and a 5th grade student, the family would pay fully for the 9th grade student's tuition and would receive a 5% discount on the 5th grade student's tuition.
- A $500 discount is provided to full year students when tuition and fees are paid in full by June 30, 2026.
- A $250 discount is provided to 2nd semester students when tuition and fees are paid in full by January 31, 2027.
Monthly payments are paid through VC Pay on the Veracross parent portal on the 5th of each month in 11 monthly installments, July through May. Students enrolled after July 1 will make less than 11 monthly payments through May 5.
All tuition and fees must be paid by the 5th of each month or a late fee of $40 is charged. VC Pay gives you the options of automatically paying by bank draft or credit card. Please make all of your payments through VC Pay and not the school office.
The Winston School has engaged in extensive internal and external discussions regarding the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program. After careful consideration and thoughtful evaluation, the Board of Trustees has decided that The Winston School will participate in TEFA beginning with the 2027-2028 school year.
The Winston School is not currently accepting TEFA funds for the 2026-27 school year.
Yes, recognizing that not all families will receive a TEFA award for the upcoming 2027-28 school year, tuition assistance will be awarded to families who meet eligibility requirements.
