Enrollment for 2026–27
As we plan for next year, our goal is to keep any tuition increases as minimal as possible yet reach a balanced budget. One of the most effective ways to reduce pressure on tuition is to welcome additional families into our community. To support this effort, we are hoping to enroll five more students for the 2026–27 school year.
To help us reach this goal, we are offering a special incentive for current families:
Family Referral Incentives
If your family refers another family who attends an Open House January 22nd or schedules a private tour:2.5 service hours ($25) will be applied to your 30 annual service hour requirements
OR
If a family you referred enrolls at Mistwood: 15 service hours, ($150) toward your school service obligation
These incentives apply for each new family you bring who engages in the process.
Your personal experiences and genuine recommendations are the most meaningful introduction new families receive. Thank you for helping us grow our Mistwood community and for supporting our efforts to keep tuition increases modest and sustainable.
If you have any questions or would like referral materials to share, please let us know, we’re happy to help!

Why We Have Monthly In-Service Days
Once a month, Mistwood sets aside a day for staff in-service to give teachers time for planning, collaboration, and campus care. During these days, teachers meet to review student progress, refine curriculum, and keep classrooms clean, safe, and organized—since Mistwood does not employ a janitor or maintenance staff. This fall, we’ve added a few additional in-service days to the scheduled to complete our WASC self-study, an important accreditation process that helps our school continue to grow and improve.
We understand that in-service days may be an inconvenience for some families; however, they are essential to keeping our school safe, clean, and continually improving, while also allowing us to maintain affordable tuition by not employing additional maintenance or janitorial staff.
