These are the numbers the school gave the U.S. Department of Education for the 2023-24 school year, published in July 2026. The survey counts students in kindergarten to grade 12, not pre-K. Enrollment and staffing move every year, so ask the school for today’s figures. Where this comes from. Something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it.

St. Barbara School tuition

We have not verified a tuition figure for St. Barbara School yet. Every private school sets its own price and most share it on request: ask for the full-year tuition for your child’s grade plus required fees, or look for a tuition page on the school’s website.

Questions to ask St. Barbara School

  1. What is the full-year tuition for my child’s grade, and which fees are required on top of it?
  2. Is there a waitlist or an application deadline for my child’s grade?
  3. Do you offer financial aid, sibling discounts or payment plans?

A school is the only source for its current price and open seats. Its website or admissions office can answer these.

Tell me if California starts a program

California has no program that pays private school tuition today. It could still start one, or opt in to the federal scholarship tax credit that starts in 2027. Leave your email and we will write once, with the official link, if California starts a program or scholarships under the federal credit open. That is the only email you get.

One email if that happens. No calls, no sharing your details.
