Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fees
- There is no application fee charged by Albert Einstein Academies for enrollment; applications are submitted through the school's PowerSchool enrollment portal using the standard online application process.

Tuition fees (by year group / per term)
- Albert Einstein Academies operates as tuition-free public charter schools. No tuition is charged for any grade level (elementary K–5 or middle school 6–8). There are no per-term or per-year tuition charges.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Because there is no tuition, there is no recurring tuition billing schedule.
- Optional, program-specific charges (for example, field trips or optional paid activities) are billed on a per-event basis through the school's online payment system and must be paid by the due date shown for each event. Field-trip and similar payments require the student ID and payment at the time of checkout.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not offered; the academies operate as day schools serving the local San Diego community.

Other costs or fees (uniforms, supplies, activities, travel, etc.)
- Uniforms: Each student is provided with free uniform items at the start of the school year (two polo shirts and one sweatshirt with the AEA logo). No uniform purchase is required at enrollment for standard issued items.
- Basic classroom supplies and student planners: Basic classroom supplies (pencils, crayons, markers, glue sticks, binders, folders, etc.) and one AEA student planner are provided at no cost. Families must provide a backpack and water bottle and may optionally contribute additional supplies.
- School meals: All AEA students receive free breakfast and lunch for the entire school year; meal applications are collected for funding purposes but do not affect eligibility. There is no charge for school meals.
- After-school program (AfterStein): The AfterStein expanded-learning program is funded through California's ELO-P program; eligible students attend without a direct charge. Some after-school clubs, sports, or third-party vendors may have separate optional costs; availability and eligibility are described in the program handbooks.
- Exchange and travel programs (ExchangeStein): International exchange and travel programs are offered; participation typically involves additional travel and program costs borne by participating families. Financial assistance or scholarships may be available for students in need.
- Optional music, instrument, athletics, or club expenses: Instrument purchases/maintenance, specific activity supplies, or optional extracurricular fees may be required for participation in some programs; these are treated as optional, program-level costs and are billed or requested separately when applicable.

Refund information
- Tuition refunds are not applicable because the school charges no tuition.
- Refunds for optional paid items (field trips, camps, paid clubs, travel deposits) are subject to the school's program-specific policies and the payment processor's procedures. Payments made via the school's RevTrak online store follow the school's stated RevTrak procedures for payments and any related refund handling; parents should contact the school office for requests or questions about refunds for a specific paid item.

Fee payment options and how payments are accepted
- RevTrak (alberteinstein.revtrak.net) is used for paying field trips and other event-specific charges; payments require a credit or debit card at checkout. RevTrak supports standard card payments (credit and debit) and the school directs families to use RevTrak for event payments.
- Meal applications and related meal information use the MyMealTime system for processing and recordkeeping. School meals are provided at no charge to students.
- Donations and voluntary contributions are accepted through the school's donation platform. Voluntary donations are distinct from required fees and are used to support activities such as field trips, assemblies, exchange trips, and transportation.

Summary statement
- Families should expect no tuition or application charges to enroll a student at Albert Einstein Academies. The few costs that do arise are for optional activities, travel, or optional supplies and are billed on a program-by-program basis using the school's payment systems (RevTrak, MyMealTime, or donation platforms).

Part of

Albert Einstein Academies is a public charter school system in San Diego, comprising the Elementary AEACES (3035 Ash St) and the Middle AEACMS (458 26th Street), with a planned High School adjacent to the middle campus. The network offers an International Baccalaureate continuum, including the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) currently in place, with the Diploma Programme (DP) expected to launch in Fall 2026. In addition, the schools follow the American curriculum and deliver a bilingual English/German immersion focus in the early grades. The AEAs began as a single charter in 2002 and aim for TK–12 growth, serving over 2,000 students. Facilities include two campuses: a 36‑classroom Elementary site with an auditorium and exterior sports field; and a four‑story Middle School building with a gym and outdoor courts. The ExchangeStein international travel and FoAEA volunteer network strengthen community and global awareness for students.
