Tuition Schedule

Tuition and donations enable Volo to support your child

Every family who joins Volo becomes part of a small community of children and adults who know each other well, learn together seriously, and spend their days outdoors in the Wasatch Back. We work with families to make enrollment possible. If your child is ready for something different, start a conversation with us.

Families are accepted on a rolling basis while seats last. Contact us to find out what’s open.

Every family who belongs at Volo has a way in.

Family-Funded

Enrolling directly, at the published rate.

  • Pay the Standard or Founder rate; no aid application needed.
  • Lock in a two-year tuition guarantee through June 2028.
  • Sibling discount applies automatically.
  • Sign your contract, pay your deposit, and your child's seat is held.

Scholarship-Funded

Enrolling with the Utah Fits All scholarship, financial aid, or both.

  • UFA provides up to $8,000 toward Luminary tuition, or covers the Quest in full.
  • SSS-based financial aid is available to any family who qualifies, with or without UFA.
  • A reduced, refundable $200 deposit holds your seat while you wait for a decision.

Tuition Schedule

Program Standard Rate
(New Families)
Founder Rate
(Returning Families)
The Luminary (Mon–Thu) $16,500 $15,000
The Quest (Fridays, standalone) $2,800 $2,300
The Quest (Fridays, Luminary add-on) $1,200 $1,000

Who qualifies for the Founder Rate? Any family that has been enrolled at Volo in a previous year, including families who left and are returning. New families enroll at the Standard Rate.

Two-year tuition guarantee: Families who enroll for 2026–27 will not see a rate increase before June 2028.

Available Discounts & Aid

  • Sibling Discount: 10% off tuition for the 2nd and each subsequent child in every family.
  • Financial Aid (SSS): Any family may apply for need-based aid through the SSS portal, whether or not they receive the UFA scholarship. Families submit financial information confidentially, and Volo uses that data to make objective aid decisions. A non-refundable SSS fee (around $60) applies; waivers are automatic for families who qualify under federal free lunch guidelines.

Deposits

Deposits are credited toward your total tuition balance—they are not an additional fee.

Program Standard Deposit UFA-Contingent Deposit When Due
The Luminary $1,500 $200 Due with signed Enrollment Contract
The Quest $300 $200 Due at registration

Standard deposits are non-refundable and protect the school's ability to commit to staffing, transportation, and operations. UFA-contingent deposits are fully refundable if the scholarship is denied. Your seat is not held until the deposit is received.

How Families Afford Volo

A Volo education is within reach for far more families than the tuition figures alone suggest. Between the Utah Fits All scholarship and the Volo Family Grant, most families pay well below the published rate—and we work out what each family pays together, confidentially, based on what they can manage.

Frequently Asked Questions

We're interested but uncertain about cost. Where do we start?

Start with a conversation. Volo has helped families across a wide range of financial circumstances find a path to enrollment—through the Utah Fits All scholarship, SSS financial aid, the sibling discount, and our Bridge Fund. If your child is a good fit, we will work with you. Reach out here.

Are there seats still available?

Yes. Priority enrollment closed May 11, but a small number of Luminary seats remain and the Quest has openings. Enrollment is rolling—seats are filled in the order families commit. If we reach capacity before you enroll, we will add you to the waitlist. Contact us to check current availability.

Can I use the UFA scholarship at Volo?

Yes. Volo is both an approved UFA private school and an approved UFA vendor. See how families afford Volo for the full picture, including how it works for private school and homeschool families.

How do the discounts interact?

Discounts are not stacked on a single student. If you qualify for multiple discounts, each child receives the lowest applicable rate. The sibling discount (10% off for the 2nd and subsequent children) applies to all families.
