Tuition for all grades, K-8, for the 2020-2021 school year is $37,600. Tuition includes lunch and snack as well as all book, materials, and technology fees. All school activities, field trips, and outdoor education programs during the school year are also included.

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 2020-2021 school year, The Hamlin School will allocate $2,650,000 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 applications may 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.
