Tuition & Tuition Assistance
If the tuition figure below gives you pause, we'd rather talk with you than have you rule us out on your own. Many families who end up at Hundred Hills were initially unsure whether the number worked for their household, and uncertain about how to even ask.
Before you fill out any form, you're welcome to have a private conversation about what's possible for your family. We want families to make a decision based on real information instead of a guess.
We are honored to walk alongside families in making this education possible for their children. We’d love to talk through what an education at Hundred Hills could look like for your family. Reach out to our Head of School, Chinyelu Kunz, at chinyelu@hundredhillsschool.org or (805) 668-4669.

Families that enroll during the 26/27 and 27/28 school years qualify for our Founder’s Cohort pricing.
