Investing in a Christ-Centered Education

The average cost of private school in SoCal in 2024 is about $16,000 a year. There are a lot of variables in that, but that is a reasonable average. Due to the support of our local churches and the Southern California Conference, AUS only charges about 1/4 of that amount.

As of 2025/2026, the tuition is $445 for Seventh-day Adventists, and $550 for non-Adventists (due to church support). And $300 for registration.

In the past 10 years our tuition has only gone up about $100. We have worked hard to keep tuition as low as possible.
