/ Admissions / Tuition & Affordability
The cost of tuition and fees are carefully considered so we can provide students with the highest quality educational program. We work hard to attract and retain the best faculty for our school and implement best practices across all curriculums. Our graduates, parents, and current students know a Jewish education is a gift of a lifetime that provides priceless and life-changing returns.
At Hillel Torah, we believe that financial aid is an essential expression of our values and critical for our families whose circumstances require such assistance. If tuition seems out of reach, we urge you to apply for financial assistance. Our process is private and confidential, and we are here to help you every step of the way. Visit our Financial Assistance page for more details.
