SAMARA DAY SCHOOL'S

2025-2026 TUITION & ENROLLMENT

(We accept mid-year and partial-day enrollment.)

Publicly-Funded Tuition

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), publicly funded tuition for some special education and related services may be available for children with disabilities enrolled in nonprofit private schools. Samara is an Oregon Department of Education-approved Alternative School, which allows districts to contract with us to provide those services. A public placement of students in an alternative educational setting is decided through the Individual Education Plan (IEP) process, so it is up to the IEP team, parents/guardians, and the district. Even if the IEP team decides that Samara would be a good placement, the student will still need to go through Samara Day School’s application process.
