Admissions

Thank you for considering Bert Hsu Academy for your child's education. We’re here for thoughtful families—no matter your cultural or socio-economic background —who want their children to grow up grounded, capable, and culturally connected. Our mission is to give students a solid foundation for modern life by providing them with a rigorous academic, bicultural and whole child character education.

Unlike many other private schools, we do not give IQ tests to students or require stellar grades and reference letters from previous schools. We believe attitude and commitment matter more than innate talent. We believe a safe and orderly learning environment will help all students learn. Therefore, we only ask for commitment from students to do the work of learning and commitment from parents to support their students in their quest. We believe every child can succeed in their own way, and we will try our best to nurture each and every child to reach their full potential.

We offer students the option to come experience our school for 1-2 days, to see what we do, how we do it, and feel the vibe.

Tuition

$300* - $2,000 per month ($3,600* - $24,000 per year)
Tuition fees include lunch and snacks and 12-month programming through the summer.
Sliding scale tuition based on family need (see scholarship matrix below).
Should you opt-out of portions of the summer session, corresponding tuition will be considered as tax deductible donation with receipt provided by the school.
Extended care and after school enrichment activities are available for $0** - $365 per month.
School bus pick-up and drop-off in San Francisco are available for additional fee

* We work with the Basic Fund that provides additional day school tuition financial assistance to families that qualify.
** We work with the Children's Council that provides after school fees financial assistance to families that qualify.

In addition to purely financial needs-based tuition assistance, BHA also offers other ways to help families, including merit and financial needs-based scholarships for 3rd-8th grade students, work exchange for parents, and work study program for students (like in college). We truly believe in our ABC (academic, bicultural and character) education model and want to make it accessible to as many families as possible!
