Investing in your child’s future
Choosing Schechter is an investment in your child’s education, identity, and future
How tuition supports our school
Covering the cost of a strong education
Tuition covers about 72% of Schechter’s annual operating costs, helping us deliver the kind of education families choose us for: excellent academics, joyful Jewish life, and a community where every child is known.
We continue to invest in what makes that possible—outstanding teachers, innovative learning spaces, and strong programs that reflect our values.
Below is our tuition for Pre-K through Grade 8 for the 2025–2026 school year. For Gan Shelanu, please refer to your child’s enrollment contract or contact our team.

Making Schechter possible for more families
Tuition assistance
Schechter is committed to providing tuition assistance to help make a day school education affordable to all its families.
In response to the many varied circumstances of families, we offer an array of assistance programs. We recognize that applying for financial aid can sometimes be confusing. We are eager to speak with parents about our programs and guide them through the process, answering any questions that arise along the way.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our financial aid programs, please contact Ross Soraci.
