Modified Tuition
Please read carefully and contact the office if you have any questions.When reviewing the information and forms below, please keep in mind that your son will be living 24 hours a day in a responsible, professional, and safe environment, and the costs of running such a program are very high. In addition to the expenses of room and board, High level Limudei Kodesh and Limudei Chol classes, and supplies, your son will benefit from many other features of our Yeshiva. These include:
- A dedicated staff who are specifically trained in being attentive to the needs and wellbeing of each individual Talmid as a unique person.
- Professionally run management of the school, accountability, consistent communication and true responsiveness to parents.
- Reliable safety protocols to ensure the physical and emotional wellbeing of every child. Every staff member is screened to ensure the safety of your child.
- Guidance and advisory support if needed from professionals in the social and mental health fields.
- Extra curricular activities, team building and confidence building programming, physical fitness and health education, creative expression outlets.
- Computer lab and integration of computer skills in the curriculum and extra curricular programs.
- Guest speakers and trips.
- A strictly enforced environment of Kedusha and Tahara with no tolerance for internet and other unwanted materials.
- Personal guidance and encouragement to grow in specific areas of challenge to each individual child.
- Strong Hiskashrus to the Rebbe and a strong Lubavitch atmosphere with emphasis on Chayus for Inyonei Geulah U’Moshiach.
We undertand that there is a collective obligation for a community to ensure the Torah education of every Jewish child. At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that in addition to the Limudei Kodesh that we provide, every Talmid also receives many other benefits such as food, dormitory accommodations, trips, secular studies and skills, and extra curricular programming. These all go well beyond the Chiyuv of Chinuch and is not necessarily the obligation of a Yeshiva to provide for your child. As such, we will need the help of the parents to achieve funding for that to a certain extent.
We are happy to make special efforts to enable your son to be part of our Mosad and are looking forward to his success here. In order for it to be a success, we have agreed upon a modified tuition amount, but the following will need to be covered by the parents regardless of the amount agreed:
- Registration fee – $400 / $250 If registering before Purim
- Mikvah – $150 paid directly to the shul – Required
- One time Refundable Security Deposit for personal laptop – $250 (Waived for returning famlies)
- Trips – Most likely not more than a few of hundred dollars a year, but exact amounts are not known at this point
- Extra Curricular special lessons such as Music, Chess, and other courses for which we hire outside professionals
- Fundraising commitment of at least the amount agree upon
- New Campus Building Fund mandatory for all famliies not paying full tuition – $770 (can be paid at $77/mo)
- Tuition obligation is required in full even if your son leaves in the middle of the year. Please understand that our budget is extremely tight because we try to make it as affordable as possible for parents and we count on the yearly projections in order to run the Moisad in a sustainable way.
