Tuition & Affordability
We welcome. We nurture. We serve.
San Carlos School provides a WCEA highly-rated academic, socio-emotionally supported, and faith-filled education. The SCS Finance Committee and Advisory Board work diligently to create a rigorous core subject program integrated with specialty instruction in Technology, Art, Music/Theater, Wellness, P.E., and Library. San Carlos School is tuition-driven, with additional financial support from the Annual Fund, PTO Fundraisers, Community Donations, Branches Resale Shoppe Subsidies, and Grants.
Our community believes in the power of prayer and family. We welcome the input and help of our trusted adults through a Time and Talent Program (T&T) that connects school and home. Family involvement is the number one indicator of student success, and our T&T program benefits both families and parents as we create a nurturing and supportive environment for our students to thrive. Through our Annual Fund and Grant Awards, we can serve those needing additional tuition support (grants range from $0 - $1,000 per student).

Time and Talent Program & Financial Aid
Family participation in the Time and Talent Program reduces the school's operational costs, which we reflect in the Family Tuition pricing. Families may volunteer or donate products to equal 50 hours of T&T, which reduces tuition by $1,250. T&T financially helps a family and school meet their goals. If a family chooses to opt out of the Time & Talent contract commitment (50 hours/year), they may choose the T&T buy out plan of $1,250 for their hours.
According to the California Education Code and the Diocese of Monterey Policy, all volunteers who interact with minor students must complete the Safe Environment for Children Program and Mandated Reporter Training, and be fingerprinted before volunteering at the school.
Once a student has been offered enrollment and is registered for the school year, the family may apply for tuition assistance online through their FACTS Family Portal. Tuition assistance is only available for enrolled students. See our Tuition Assistance tab for more information.
