Annual Giving   

As in many educational institutions, Milken finds that tuition does not cover operating costs. Therefore, several fundraising activities occur during the year. Milken 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 our 1to1 computing environment featuring Apple Powerbook.

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.

Financial Aid  

Milken Community High School is committed to providing financial aid to families who qualify. Financial need however, is not a factor in determining admission decisions. All financial aid is held in the strictest confidence and is "need blind". For more information or questions about applying for financial aid, please contact Linda Riff, Assistant Head of School for Finance and Operations at 310.440.3500. Details on the process can also be found in our admissions information packet.
