Financial Assistance
La Jolla Country Day School believes that increasing the diversity of our student body and creating stronger avenues to offer exceptional students access to an LJCDS education will impact the world in ways we cannot yet even imagine.
Gifts in support of financial assistance allow LJCDS to enroll highly motivated and talented students of strong character, regardless of their ability to pay full tuition, creating a diverse and enriching learning environment.
LJCDS has played an invaluable role in shaping my path and instilling in me a reminder to carry the six pillars of character in everything I do. Now, I am grateful to be in a position to give back to the institution that gave so much to me.”
Arlene Olvera,
Class of 2005
