Tehiyah Day School Employee Directory

Tehiyah Day School is a Jewish community day school of socio-economically diverse students and families with a commitment to academic excellence. The Board of Trustees recognizes that socio-economic diversity enriches the educational opportunities for all families and that the participation of a wide range of families is critical to the health of t... he school. As tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating each student, we also acknowledge and celebrate the fact that Tehiyah is in a financial partnership with every family in the school. Tehiyah is committed to making our school accessible and affordable to all. In addition to our own commitment, and in support of the belief in the essential need for Jewish education, several foundations and individuals participate with Tehiyah to assist us in providing as much accessibility as is possible within our resource constraints. In this sense, our partnership extends beyond the school and our families to include those other organizations and donors. For those families who need additional support, beyond the subsidy provided to every student, we offer financial assistance through the Tehiyah Financial Partnership (TFP). To those who can afford to do so, we extend the invitation to participate more fully in the TFP by donating directly to it through our Annual Giving. Financial assistance through the TFP is based strictly on demonstrated financial need. We recognize that each family's financial situation is unique, and the TFP Committee takes into consideration the amount of reduced tuition each family is qualified to receive, based on many factors. To assist us in objectively assessing what a family is able to pay for tuition, Tehiyah is a member of the School and Student Service division of the National Association of Independent Schools (SSS by NAIS). We use the SSS figures as the baseline for our TFP determinations, taking into consideration our school's policies and the resources available for returning students as well as applicant families.
