Affording Millennium
As part of our commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI), Millennium creates a school community that reflects the diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area. We believe that bringing together families from varied economic backgrounds enriches the educational experience and strengthens our school culture for everyone.
Through our Flex Tuition Program, we work to make a Millennium School education accessible to families from a range of financial means. Given the Bay Area's high cost of living, we encourage any family considering assistance to apply—families at varying income levels qualify for financial aid.
For the 2025-26 school year, Millennium School has allocated $1.1 million in financial aid. Over 20% of our student body receives Flexible Tuition.
2025-26 Tuition: $45,985

BENEFITS OF A MILLENNIUM EDUCATION
A Millennium School education during the middle school years offers significant advantages. It nurtures intellectual curiosity, emotional resilience, and social skills through a balance of academic rigor and experiential learning. Small class sizes and individualized attention ensure each student receives the support they need. The supportive community environment fosters deep connections, preparing students for success in high school, college, and beyond.
We aim to represent the full diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area, including a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. This diversity enhances the educational experience by incorporating multiple social perspectives.
