Tuition Assistance
Central to the mission of The Brandeis School of San Francisco is a commitment to provide an outstanding education to a diverse population of qualified students. In order to remain accessible to families from a wide range of backgrounds, we direct a substantial portion of our operating budget towards tuition assistance. We are proud of this tradition, which enables us to serve a broad and socio-economically diverse student population.
Applying for tuition assistance will not prejudice a student's application for admission in any way, and we strongly encourage families who have concerns about their ability to afford the full tuition to apply for tuition assistance. While every family* is expected to contribute to the cost of tuition and fees and to support the community to the extent individual family circumstances permit, the school does not expect all families to pay tuition at the highest level.
*Please note that in households where the applicant's parents are divorced or separated, each adult will be asked to submit a separate application for tuition assistance. Feel free to contact us with any questions about this policy.
