TUITION AND FINANCIAL AID

The American Hebrew Academy's tuition offers outstanding value compared to peer institutions. Strong philanthropic support enables us to maintain reasonable pricing while providing our students the very best high school education, Jewish studies, state-of-the-art technology, and boarding environment.

The American Hebrew Academy is committed to providing an outstanding experience to students regardless of financial means. Our Financial Aid Program is open to all students. To apply for need-based financial aid, families must complete the American Hebrew Academy financial aid form and the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS) form available from the Admissions Office. Financial aid decisions are made independently from admissions decisions, and in no way affect a candidate's chances for admission.
