Our goal is to make a Hamlin education accessible to qualified students whose families understand and embrace the mission of the School.
For the 2012-2013 school year, tuition for each student is $27,400. To support an inclusive community, the school provides financial assistance awards ranging from $2,000 to $32,715. Financial assistance can include tuition, extended care, and educational support as needed. Hamlin encourages families to apply for financial assistance, even if only a modest grant would make a difference.
While each family carries the primary responsibility for financing its daughter’s education, the School works in partnership with individual families to develop a sound financial plan. For some families, a creative payment plan may be the solution. For others, it will be a combination of School and family resources.
Investing in an independent school education requires significant commitment to financial planning and prioritizing. We recognize that the cost of private school tuition has become increasingly challenging. Accordingly, Hamlin has made a commitment to increase substantially its available funds for financial assistance grants.
Tuition and Financial Assistance
Tuition for all grades, K-8, for the 2012-2013 school year is $27,400.
The Hamlin School is committed to socioeconomic diversity in its community. No qualified student should be denied access to Hamlin for financial reasons.
For the 2012-2013 school year, The Hamlin School has allocated $1,420,000 to its financial assistance budget.
To be eligible for tuition assistance, families must demonstrate financial need as determined by an independent review organization and our Financial Assistance Committee. All families are invited to attend one of the optional "Affording Hamlin" information workshops, which are held on campus in the fall.
Information on assistance is made available to current and prospective families each fall, at which time application can be submitted. The Financial Assistance Committee makes final decisions on all assistance allocations. For more information concerning application procedures for the tuition assistance program, call Lisa Lau Aquino ’81, Director of Admission, at 415-674-5400.
