Annual Giving   

As in many educational institutions, Milken Community High School finds that tuition does not cover operating costs. Therefore, several fundraising activities occur during the year. Milken Community High School depends on parents to contribute as generously as their circumstances allow. 

Additional Costs  

For Upper School students, textbooks are purchased online through www.mbsdirect.com. There is an additional fee for Hebrew and Judaic Studies textbooks. All in-coming Middle and Upper School students are expected to participate in the Mac laptop program.

For Middle School students, there is a flat fee for all textbooks and every student will be expected to participate in the Mac laptop program.
