Tehiyah Day School is dedicated to the ideal of being able to provide a Jewish community day school experience to all families and children who desire such an education. In that regard, Tehiyah is extremely committed to its tuition assistance program. Over one-third of families receive some amount of tuition assistance.
The school strongly believes in and practices an admissions process that is separate from the tuition assistance program. Families who feel eligible for tuition assistance should contact Tehiyah’s CFO, Amy Coty, to have a tuition assistance application mailed separately. Amy can be reached at either

Tuition Assistance Timeline
- Families assess individually or through consultation with the business office if they should apply.
- Families complete the SSS (School and Student Service for Financial Aid) tuition assistance application online and fax or email into SSS their supporting documents (e.g. previous year tax return and estimates for recently completed tax year income) by January 31, 2010. Letters detailing special circumstances may also be submitted to Tehiyah either directly or through SSS for consideration.
- The tuition assistance committee determines an award amount, and the notification is included with each family’s admission letter.
- Families sign school contract and notification of tuition grant. They return both with the enrollment deposit.
- If there are any questions or concerns about the tuition assistance award offered, please call, or write a letter to, the business office. The committee may revisit the request.
- Agreement is set in place or, if not, the enrollment deposit is refunded.
