Affording UHS

“In mapping out our future, UHS has taken a bold step in committing to becoming a national leader in shifting high school culture from one that is limited to grades and scores, wins and losses, to one that prizes the journey of discovery, the commitment of care and community, and the value of diversity of perspectives and experiences. Rather than conforming to a fixed definition of excellence, UHS students are afforded the agency to invent and sustain their own vision of excellence. We see this play out as our students engage in independent intellectual pursuits, discover their dramatic and political voices, and help value leadership and sportsmanship over victory. Time and time again, UHS alumni tell me that they credit their years at UHS for inspiring them to live a life of the mind, as well as to lead lives of creativity, consequence, and commitment to the greater good.”

Julia Russell Eells, head of school

Affording UHS

At UHS, we are committed to access and affordability. We work to build and sustain our community by intentionally seeking, enrolling, and fully supporting a student body representative of the Bay Area, regardless of financial means. Varied perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences among our students and faculty are critical components of a UHS education. To fulfill this commitment, UHS maintains a strong financial aid program to meet the demonstrated need of our families. For the 2021-2022 school year, UHS awarded 3.7M to the 23% of students who participate in the financial aid program; the tuition cost for families participating in the financial aid program: $15,621.

We encourage you to learn more about financial aid at UHS by visiting the Affording UHS section of our website at sfuhs.org/affording.
