A successful Qualia applicant exemplifies the traits that make our students thrive: an insatiable curiosity, a love of ideas, and a desire to learn with like-minded peers. We look for students who follow their own rhythms, seek their own paths to understanding, and cultivate their own unique intellectual styles. We admit applicants who will value our depth-focused coursework and take advantage of our advanced-level mentoring and support.

AFFORDING QUALIA
Qualia uses an Indexed Tuition model to improve accessibility to working parents and their children. Recognizing that careers are significant in many ways beyond financial reward, Qualia’s Indexed Tuition model encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds.
We have limited funds available to support new 5th-12th families, so please inquire soon to learn what your family’s tuition would be.
Qualia uses a third-party provider, FAST, for its Indexed Tuition application.
For more information or to apply, call (310) 478-9900 or email admissions@qualiaschool.org
