Middle-income families earning $30,000-$48,000 pay $11,639 per year. The average net price across all income levels is $11,137. Over four years, that totals about $44,548 for a typical student.

Only 26% of students take federal loans, keeping debt levels manageable at this tiny 41-student campus. The 5:1 student-faculty ratio means personalized attention comes standard. Just 10% of students receive institutional grants, but those who do get an average of $8,190. The school serves a diverse, primarily female student body with strong representation from Asian, Hispanic, and Black communities. Low-income students get the best deal here, paying roughly one-quarter of what higher-income families pay.
