Quality day school education at HAMC is affordable. We have several programs that will keep the gift of a day school education available to all Jewish children, regardless of the family’s ability to pay.

Thanks to support from an extremely generous donor, the Hebrew Academy is among a select group of day schools in the nation that can offer a capped tuition for middle-income K-8 families that would not normally qualify for tuition assistance. In addition we offer “traditional” tuition assistance for our K-8 families and limited tuition assistance for our Early Childhood Center families.

Below is a short summary of our tuition assistance programs and payment options.

• Base Tuition Grant: This endowed program is open to K-8 families with a gross income of up to $200,000, or higher if there are extenuating circumstances. Tuition is “capped” at an amount significantly below the standard tuition rate, and limited financial disclosure is required.
• Tuition Assistance: Our tuition assistance program is available to all K-8 families. The amount of assistance granted is based on income and extenuating circumstances. The Hebrew Academy contracts with an independent agency to help determine need. Financial information is kept strictly confidential.
• Early Childhood Tuition Assistance: Through the Jason K. Jacobs Early Childhood Memorial Scholarship Fund, a child can attend our superior preschool at a reduced tuition cost. This scholarship was created by Jennifer Jacobs, a former Hebrew Academy parent, in memory of her husband, Jason, who perished on 9/11.
• Payment Options: A variety of payment options are available, including credit card payments, ACH payments, and monthly or biannual scheduals. Sibling and early payment discounts are also available.
