The Alumni Perspective
Tucker Coughlin
EWoW class of 2019
Math & Science Instructor
Skidmore College
BA Neuroscience
BA Computer Science
Founder of In Luna's Garden
"The last almost 18 months taught us to be grateful for what we have and what we are all going to miss [after graduation], like the trips to All Aboard, house hunts, games of pool, foosball, tennis, and football, smoothie runs, passing notes during Lockey’s class, getting my butt whooped in chess against Parker, lock-ins, game nights, short-lived film class, stressing over Post U classes and, of course, Finn the Dog.
I came to EWoW two years ago. Obviously, the decision, like everyone else who comes here, was carefully thought over. I spent a great deal of time thinking over what I might be missing out on by going to EWoW. Everything I just listed is what I did not miss out on and what I am so glad that I got to experience with you."

WHAT ARE YOUR STAFF'S QUALIFICATIONS?
Our highly qualified staff members generally hold degrees in the field in which they teach; each brings a unique passion for their subject into the classroom, but their most important qualification is the ability to communicate ideas in an engaging, memorable way. Specific degrees and certifications are listed in our staff directory.
HOW DO THE FINANCES WORK?
EWoW is tuition-based, with limited scholarship and work opportunities available.
Payment plans are available, as are discounts and need-based financial aid.
WHAT IS YOUR TUITION?
Tution starts at $34,500 with additional services extra. Tuition covers everything required for high school diploma planning and completion. Merit-based and need-based aid are both available for qualified students and families.
CAN 529 PLANS BE USED TO PAY TUITION?
Yes! Generally, this is the case, but you will want to check with your financial advisors to make certain.
HOW CAN I BEST MINIMIZE MY BILL?
The best way to keep your bill as low as possible is to take full advantage of our discounts, scholarship offers, work plans, and need-based aid. This means committing to EWoW early in our planning process for the fall. While we offer rolling admission, most financial aid and scholarships are fully committed by the end of June.

Education without Walls does not discriminate based on gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, disability, or political standing.
