Full Payment

A $2,500 deposit is due in February/March for the following academic year. The balance of tuition is due in July.

Ten-month Payment Plan

This option allows the balance remaining (after enrollment deposit, applicable financial aid, book fee, and new student fee*) to be paid in ten equal installments. The first payment begins July 5, and continues through April 5 via electronic funds transfer. Financing agreement (including finance charge) is required.

Educational Loans

Educational loans are available through third-party lenders. Tuition loan programs assist many families in making tuition payments more affordable by providing the funds upfront and spreading the payments over a longer period of time. Go to NAIS or call Susanne McNeil Eng at 310.889.2666 for more information.

Need-Based Financial Aid

This option is designed to help families who could not realistically consider private education. Like many other independent schools, Brentwood School uses School and Student Services (SSS) to assess a family’s level of need. We also require a school application and tax returns as part of the confidential process. SSS, located in Princeton, NJ, provides unbiased and uniform information to schools. Once received, the SSS information is adjusted by the school to take into consideration the cost of living in Los Angeles (COLA adjustment). For more information about our financial aid process, please contact Zita Hernandez at zhernandez@bwscampus.com.

* The new student fee is waived for Financial Aid recipients.

Brentwood School is committed to developing students capable of lifelong contributions to our diverse society. To fulfill this objective, the school welcomes and supports qualified students from various socio-­economic, racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds who would not be able to attend the school by offering tuition assistance. Over three million dollars have been budgeted for financial aid for the 2011-2012 school year, thereby allowing the School to provide financial aid awards to more than 160 students.  An additional $200,000 has been budgeted to reimburse financial aid families for various school expenses such as books, retreat fees, the transportation program, field trips, and school supplies.  These expenses, some of which need prior approval, are reimbursed based on a progressive schedule tied to the student’s award percentage.

Brentwood School operates a need-blind admission policy, meaning a family's application for financial aid will have no bearing on a student's chances for admission. All financial aid documents and deliberations are held in the strictest confidence.
