Tuition Reduction Program (TRP)
We offer a Tuition Reduction Program (TRP) for qualifying families. To apply for this program, you must have a combined household income of $120,000 or less and be a Santa Monica Resident or work in Santa Monica. TRP is granted to families on a sliding scale of up to 90% off the current tuition rate.
