Giving Back

Tuition alone does not cover the full cost
of a Lerner School education.

A Jewish community day school education does more than prepare students for middle school – it passes on Jewish text, prayer and culture and promotes Jewish identity. Starting with our Early Childhood program and moving through 5th grade, these teachings are interwoven throughout the school day. For these reasons, Jewish community day schools cost more to operate than other schools, and the Lerner School is no different. Our integrated program means additional Judaic studies teachers and extra planning time for all teachers to fully integrate the curriculum.

Gifts to the Annual Fund help us close this gap.

They allow us to keep our tuition within reach of most families without compromising the very reason they students come to our school – the quality of our education.
