Tuition changes the month of your child's birthday. To finalize your enrollment, a deposit of one month's tuition is due. The deposit will be credited to your first month's enrollment. Families who have siblings enrolled at the same time receive a 10% discount on the oldest child's tuition, families with more then two children enrolled receive an additional 5% discount (Youngest child full tuition, middle children 5% discount, oldest child 10% discount - while siblings are attending together). Alumni siblings receive priority on the waiting list but do not receive a sibling discount

 

 Up to 25% of our families receive some form of tuition assistance, which can range from 5%-95% of tuition. 

 

We do have a tuition assistance program to provide spaces to families who are income eligible (generally limited to families whose combined income does not exceed $75,000 annually), and meet certain need and eligibility requirements.   There is also a limited amount of scholarship funding from the City of Berkeley for low-income Berkeley residents.   

All of our families are required to make a financial contribution towards their child's tuition.  Sliding scale below.
