AFFORDING LOS ENCINOS SCHOOL
We understand that for many families the cost of an independent school education may be more than what their family budget can accommodate. The Los Encinos School Tuition Assistance Program strives to make sure that if a child and family are a good match for the school, then finances should not prevent that child from attending.
As a school that values diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, Los Encinos uses the Tuition Assistance Program to ensure that we are a socio-economically diverse community. Two facts that we’d like to share is that 30% of our students receive tuition assistance and that the average family income of a tuition assistance recipient is $190,000.
Tuition Assistance awards are confidential and are determined by the Tuition Assistance Committee. Applying for assistance does not guarantee an award as decisions are based on need, availability of funds, and the number of qualified applicants.
