Tuition Policy
The Board of Directors establishes tuition and fees at The Lerner School. Tuition represents approximately 70%-75% of the total cost of providing a Lerner School education for each student and fundraising events, contributions, and grants make up the balance.
The school has many on going fixed expenses, such as faculty salaries and facilities maintenance. In order to plan and maintain these services over the entire year, it is essential that the annual income from tuition and fees be assured. For this reason, it is understood that the students are enrolled for the entire year or such portion as may remain after the date of entrance. In view of the foregoing, no reduction or remission of fees can be allowed by the school for absence or withdrawal. The fact that the School fees are paid in two or more installments does not constitute a fractional contract.
Emergency Tuition Assistance
Should a family in unexpected financial difficulty be unable to meet its tuition commitments, The Lerner School has policies in place to review the family's situation and offer emergency financial assistance, if available.
