2020-2021 Religious School Tuition

Please use this page to determine your family's religious school tuition commitment for 2020-2021 and to arrange payment.

This page assumes that you have already completed religious school registration for students and Madrachim. If you have any questions, please contact the office at admin@shir-hadash.org or 847-498-8218.

Voluntary Tuition for Religious School Students (Grades K-7)

For the 2020-2021 school year, Shir Hadash will shift to a voluntary commitment model for school tuition for all students in Kindergarten through Seventh grade. This model will be nearly identical to our membership structure which allows families to place a monetary amount on how much they value their membership to the congregation and then commit to paying that amount over the course of the year (or all at once depending on preference).

For reference, the per-student break-even amount (i.e. the total Religious School annual expense budget divided by the expected number of students = $75,000 / 45 students) is $1,667 per student.

Also for reference, last year's tuition structure based upon grade was as follows:
K-1 $200 per year
2-4 $500 per year
5-7 $1,000 per year

While we certainly encourage you to contribute the per-student break-even amount of $1,667 per student, or alternatively, the amounts from last year's tuition structure, we understand that some of you have been economically impacted by this ongoing pandemic. We do not want to have anyone in our community to feel as though they have to choose between everyday life and whether or not have your children participate in religious school.
