The tuition is $19,100 which, for San Francisco, is on the cheaper side of private school tuition. Many schools here are 5-10k more expensive. It's ridiculous, I know, but the whole cost of living is out of whack here.
I really don't expect public education to ever do this by themselves though. My hope is that the learnings from this school can be applied elsewhere. It will be far less expensive to start the process of creating outside the current education bureaucracy. Five or ten years down' the road when public education can buy into a proven, totally scalable system, then this might change everything. It also gives them a lofty goal and hefty payout if they can achieve it.
