Frequently Asked Questions

• What is involved in the enrollment process for New Story Schools and what documentation is needed?

  In most cases, enrollment at a New Story School begins with the child’s home district, though in Ohio some scholarships are available for parents to directly enroll. Please visit our Enrollment Process page for more information, or contact us if you have additional questions.

• How can I tour a school?

  We love to welcome families to see our schools. We generally schedule these once a referral is in process with the school district. At that time, we can arrange for families to tour the facility and observe the classroom in which the student will be placed. The tour provides families the opportunity to ask any questions about the academic and behavioral support we can offer the student. Please visit our Enrollment Process page for more information, or contact us if you have additional questions.

• Where can I find information on the cost of tuition?

  Most students at New Story Schools are referred to us via their public school district, and that district would need to authorize placement with us. We do not directly charge tuition to parents.
