2021 – 2022 School Tuition & Community Membership
School Year: September 2021 May 2022 (9 Months)
Annual Community Membership: September 2021 – August 2022 (12 Months)
SPECIAL NOTICE:
Due to the continuation and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have not been able to secure our in-person facilities yet. We expect this to happen soon and we anticipate returning to Short Ave. Elementary school in the very near future. For this year, we will continue to collect payments for the Sholem School on a monthly subscription basis only, with 9-monthly payments.
The tuition prices listed below will apply as long as we are using a virtual teaching system. They are the same as last year’s prices, which were reduced by approximately 25%, reflecting our lowered expenses that do not include rent for our school facilities. When we do return to in-person instruction, the monthly charges will be increased to cover our additional costs and you will be notified of the new tuition rates and plan when that time comes.
Community Membership:
Sholem Community Membership is included automatically with School Tuition. This reflects our philosophy that your child’s Sholem School experience is both about learning and about your family’s participation in our community.
Please also note, with a Sholem Community Membership your family will obtain discounted prices to many Sholem activities including our kol nidre observance.
Pricing
- If you are able to pay your way, select Bracket A and pay this year’s reduced rates.
- If you are income-affected for any reason, select Bracket B or C and pay reduced rates.

(these donations are fully tax deductible).

PAYMENT OPTIONS
Remember that your entire family automatically receives Annual Community Membership with any School Tuition purchased.
REFUND POLICY
Before December 1: Those seeking refunds have a choice of 50% of the annual tuition, or a credit to apply 75% of your current year’s tuition to the following year’s tuition.
After December 1: We reduce the amount that can be refunded by 10% per month. So, for example, after February 1, we will refund 30% of the full tuition. Alternatively, we can provide a credit toward the next year’s tuition. The amount of the credit is reduced by 15% per month. So, for example, after February 1 we will provide a credit to apply 45% the current year’s tuition to the next year’s tuition.
For refunds on a monthly auto pay plan, we will reduce the amounts of the remaining payments so that the sum of all payments is less than the tuition amount minus the refund amount.
