Tuition and Financial Assistance

Tuition & Financial Assistance

At The Adelson School, we recognize the profound impact that an exceptional education has on your child's future. It is not just about academic success, but also about fostering kindness, empathy, and compassionate leadership.

A Jewish education offers unique benefits—engaging academics, enrichment opportunities, and the chance to lead, learn, and compete. However, we understand that the cost of private education can be a concern for many families.

We are committed to helping make a Jewish education accessible and affordable for all families through generous financial aid programs. Our students graduate as confident individuals who go on to attend top colleges and pursue meaningful careers.

Why Choose Adelson?

  • Individualized Learning: Younger students enjoy a challenging curriculum tailored to their age and developmental stage. Older students can select from college prep, honors, and AP courses, and explore career interests through Focus Area electives.

  • Enrichment Opportunities: Students can engage in music, theater, business, STEM, robotics, and more, both inside and outside the classroom.

  • Competitive Athletics: Every middle and high school student can participate in competitive sports, with no tryouts or cuts, offering a wide range of sports from which to choose.

  • Small Class Sizes: With a close-knit community, students are known, valued, and celebrated.

  • Inclusive Community: While we are grounded in Jewish values and traditions, we welcome families of all faiths and backgrounds, fostering character development and personal growth.

Financial Aid: Making Education Accessible

We understand that affordability is a key consideration. Many families assume they will not qualify for financial aid, either due to income or the perception that they earn too much. The truth is that a wide range of families qualify for assistance, thanks to the support of generous donors and community partners.

 

The Adelson School’s financial aid process is clear, impartial, and transparent, and is designed to help you understand your eligibility.

Cost & Payment Plans

We offer flexible payment plans. Tuition can be paid in full or in monthly installments. A $1,500 non-refundable deposit ($750 for financial aid applicants) is required with the enrollment contract and is applied toward tuition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whenever possible, we offer financial aid for qualifying K-12 students to bridge the gap between your contribution and the full tuition amount needed to support your child. Financial aid is not available for preschool students.
Our Financial Aid Committee, which is overseen by our Chief Financial Officer, considers a number of criteria to inform how to allocate the school’s funds, including but not limited to financial need, academic standing, citizenship, and attendance. All information is kept strictly confidential.

The Adelson School is fortunate to have generous donors and community partnerships, whose financial support is deeply respected and valued. Even with such incredible generosity, our resources aren’t unlimited. While we are unable to meet every family’s full financial needs, we strive to accommodate each request as best we can.

“Many choose Adelson for the exceptional academic program and Jewish values, but what we appreciate above all is the high level of teacher involvement. The teachers are very caring and extremely dedicated. Every grade level teacher we've had has created a very positive and memorable experience for our child. The cost of Adelson is well worth it, especially with the harsh reality of public and charter school options. It is clear Adelson hires the best of the best in teachers and leadership and we love the safety and security of the campus.  You get what you pay for and at Adelson you get excellence at every level. Adelson has brought out the best in my child. I thank Adelson's teachers for helping me raise a kind, confident, creative, and happy child.”
