What Is Flexible Tuition?
Flexible Tuition is a program that helps to ensure access to a Jewish Day School education for all and to help ensure continued socio-economic diversity of the school’s student body. The Flexible Tuition program offers an evaluation of each family's tuition. While every family is expected to contribute to the cost of tuition and fees and to support the community to the extent individual family circumstances allow, the school does not expect all families to pay the same tuition.
How does Flexible Tuition work?
OHDS uses a neutral, third party entity - FACTS - as a starting point to evaluate Flexible Tuition. FACTS helps to assess a family’s ability to pay for independent education and to help families feel confident that their request for assistance is being evaluated objectively and professionally.
