Tuition
Tuition for the 2022–2023 school year is $49,720. In addition to the day-to-day academic basics including books, curriculum, technology, and classroom supplies, tuition at Stanbridge also includes counseling support as well as speech and language services with our credentialed specialists; day trips and overnight experiential trips taken throughout the year; and the cost of maintaining our low teacher-to-student classroom ratio.
We strive to ensure that our programs meet the needs of our students while maintaining high educational standards. Since 1998, Stanbridge has maintained its accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and was recently awarded a full, seven-year accreditation from the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS). These accreditations by outside institutions substantiate that our students and staff are being provided with the best educational environment.
Tuition is typically paid in ten monthly installments throughout the school year (10% of full tuition as the initial deposit, followed by nine additional 10% payments due on the first of each month). Families who enroll their student after the first month of the school year have their tuition pro-rated. Our Business Office is available to discuss alternate payment schedules and financial aid—contact Ward Quincey at wquincey@stanbridgeacademy.org with any questions.

Financial Aid
With the cost of living in the Bay Area among the highest in the country, we understand that sending your child to Stanbridge is not an easy financial decision. We want to support each family’s access to a Stanbridge education. Families who are not able to afford the full cost of tuition may apply for tuition assistance (financial aid). To help the school make an accurate determination of a family’s need, Stanbridge Academy uses School & Student Services (SSS), an independent agency which is a part of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), which will collect all required information and forms on the school’s behalf.
Families currently receiving tuition assistance have first priority in receiving consideration for aid for the following year. The second priority is for families with returning students which are not currently receiving financial aid. The final priority is for new students entering Stanbridge Academy.
Please see our updated Financial Aid Information & FAQs document for important and detailed information on how to apply for financial aid as well as to learn how awards are determined.
