Cincinnati Waldorf School

Can our family use EdChoice at Cincinnati Waldorf School?

Ohio's OEDS directory lists Cincinnati Waldorf School as a chartered nonpublic school (IRN 134338), which is the category of private school where EdChoice and EdChoice Expansion students enroll. In 2026-27 the scholarship pays up to $6,166 for grades K-8 and $8,408 for grades 9-12 toward tuition, sent straight to the school. Because each school decides whether to take scholarship students, check with admissions that it is enrolling them for your child's grade.

The school has a pre-K room, so ask whether it takes Cincinnati Preschool Promise tuition assistance (for families inside the CPS district), an Ohio Preschool Program grant or county child care subsidy. EdChoice starts at kindergarten.

Independent schools set their own need-based aid. Several, including members of the Ohio Association of Independent Schools, route donors to an SGO, and EdChoice works here exactly as at a religious school when the school is chartered.
