Tuition and Assistance

The SLA Financial Model

We want every family to know that regardless of their financial circumstances, an SLA education is completely within reach. SLA covers over forty percent of the overall cost of tuition with need-based tuition assistance, a nearly unparalleled commitment in LA independent schools. This means that approximately sixty percent of our student body receives some form of aid, with many families receiving nearly full scholarships. This allows the school to recruit and enroll the most dedicated students from all walks of life. 

Each year we enroll a significant number of students who know what it means to live in the most trying financial circumstances. Our model is founded upon the belief that the best educational tool for any young person is the collaboration and camaraderie of peers from different backgrounds—peers who have stories and perspectives to share, the stuff of life that simply cannot be gleaned from a textbook.
