TBS Approach to Individual Family Tuition
At The Berkeley School, we strive to make our educational program affordable and reflective of the socioeconomic diversity of the East Bay. TBS families contribute between 5% and 100% of the top-rate tuition, with approximately 37% of our families paying less than the top-rate tuition. We encourage all families to apply for an Individual Family Tuition rate.
