Tuition and Tuition Assistance
We know that choosing an independent school education is a significant financial decision, and that it is one that impacts children for life. Tuition is essential to our ability to offer all that Redwood Day is known for: an incredible academic program, a deeply connected community, leading-edge, inspirational faculty, and amazing facilities on our 4-acre campus.
Redwood Day’s value shines throughout our program and community. Keeping every child engaged and growing is at the core of who we are. To achieve this, diverse experiences and perspectives are essential. We consider diversity through many lenses, one of which is economic diversity. Redwood Day’s commitment to economic diversity is supported by an extensive need-based tuition assistance program.
