About Laguna Blanca School

TUITION
As with other independent schools, tuition covers approximately 80 percent of the cost of educating a student at Laguna Blanca School. The generosity of our families and friends of the School enables Laguna Blanca to provide the quality education, resources, and environment necessary for students to succeed and achieve their goals both now and for future generations to come.

Each January the Board of Trustees of Laguna Blanca School sets the tuition levels for the following year. A modest increase in tuition can be expected year to year.
