    Hi there! The cost for Middle School for the 2018-2019 school year is $12,000 for the year. We do offer tuition assistance, if needed. Hope that helps!

    Mills College Children's School is an absolute gem and a truly transformative environment for…read morechildren and families alike. The teachers and staff are incredibly supportive, creating an inclusive and diverse community where every child and family feels welcomed and valued. Their ability to meet each child where they are--both in terms of needs and abilities--is unmatched. The educators here are first-rate, highly educated, and deeply dedicated to their craft. They foster an environment where children can blossom socially, emotionally, and academically. Every child is seen, supported, and celebrated, which allows them to build confidence and thrive in all aspects of their development. The care and thoughtfulness that go into every interaction and every element of the program are evident. I feel so privileged to have my child--and myself--be part of this extraordinary community. Mills College Children's School is a place where children and families grow together, and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

    My son started in the kindergarten class and is now a 5th grader. My daughter started in the blue…read moreroom (if I remember the color correctly!). And so far our experience has great! We really couldn't think of a better school that would nurture them as individuals and build a strong academic foundation. Mills really focuses on building socio-emotional skills. My kids often came home talking about the brain and how they were in their "reptilian brain" and what they could do to get centered. As a parent who is in the education field, I can't tell you how important this is to building skills that will allow them to self-regulate and to understand what's going on internally with them. I'm a high school administrator in a public school and I can tell you that the biggest challenge I see with students that academically struggle is their inability to self-regulate and access the part of their brain where executive skills are at. I'm so glad that both my kids could come here. I know that they have a strong foundation to succeed in middle and high school and beyond! Did I also mention how beautiful the campus is! Teachers take full advantage of this.

    This is the best Jewish school you can possibly find in SF-East Bay area…read more We have 2 kids in the school right now and another one will start Kindergarten this coming fall. We chose this school after touring several others and could not be happier with our decision. The school serves a diverse spectrum of Jewish community with various levels of observance and cultural background. They provide excellent general education along with Judaic curriculum and immersive Hebrew language studies. They have amazing art and science program, which my kids are very excited about. Aftercare program has a ton of activities to choose from. The classes are small, which allows for more individual attention. Academically, my kids are very different and require different approach to help them maximize their potential. One child, who is enthusiastic about math, is able to take a more advanced math course, while my daughter is able to get extra support to help her with reading fluency and spelling. The entire school community is very welcoming. I can tell that teachers are truly committed to maintaining a warm school environment where children enjoy learning and also thrive socially. My son transferred there from another school, when he started his 3rd grade, and his transition was very smooth. I really appreciate the fact that the school staff is easily accessible for any questions or concerns. We are able to maintain a great communication with teachers and office staff, even though we live far from school and are not present there daily.

The teachers and staff and principal all seem to genuinely care and be good at their jobs, and it shows in the happiness of the kids. As an example, my kid for some reason we may never know was scared to go into the lunch line at the cafeteria, and therefor wasn't eating lunch. I mentioned this to the principal who happened to be outside before school and he took us right at that moment to go meet the lunch lady and practice going through the line, and then when we got to class I told the teacher why we were a couple minutes late the teacher said he would walk with my son into the lunch line that day. He's been eating school lunch every day since. He plays better with other kids than he ever did in preschool. Oh, he also reads at a 2nd grade level (but I get part of the credit for that!). They have a pretty awesome brand new playground, a garden, fieldtrips, music class, (optional) parent meetings and volunteer opportunities, and a pretty good budget for a public school. We'll be sending our second kid here in a few years once she's old enough

The different cohorts (Sprouts, Roots, Blossoms) are well structured, but also mix well with one another at certain points of the day and outside.

During the tour, however, Laura, the director disclosed that a child had recently managed to leave the premises unsupervised and although nothing actually happened to the child, she still needed to tell me. While I appreciate the transparency, that should have been a warning sign. She also offered me--twice--the option to apply for their internal financial aid program since 4C's had been unresponsive for over a year. I promptly and successfully completed the application and was told that the school would reach out directly to grant the aid. However, we waited patiently for one month and never received a response. I had to reach out twice, once again to BeneFAQ and also to Laura. Since it is now September, I was hoping to finally get my little one in, but she didn't respond until almost a week later and without any explanation she just said "At this time, we are unable to grant an award. Please reach out again if you are able to receive a certificate from 4C's and we can review." There was no explanation provided, and given that 4C's has been non responsive for over a year now; even after *she* encouraged us to apply through their own financial aid program TWICE to then leave us waiting and offer nothing but a flat rejection feels deeply disappointing and unprofessional. No explanation, no accountability, just weeks of wasted time. If there was never an intention to help, it would have been far more respectful to be upfront rather than leave a family waiting in limbo. But moreover, combined with the earlier safety lapse & a child walking out unsupervised in Oakland is a nightmare scenario on its own; it left us questioning the school's overall quality, value, and management. I understand no school is perfect, but when safety and professionalism fall short, it raises real concerns. I had high regard for this establishment at first but I believe now that lack of respect, follow-through, and transparency ultimately turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
