NOT A GOOD AS IT APPEARS
September 21, 2014 9:42 pm

what happens when you have only 1 child left, as the rest are in yeshiva gedolas or seminaries? will the yeshiva consider this and lower their %? or do you pay 8-10% of your income at each institution. e.g. on $130000 (not sure if that is gross or net) wage, 1 kid in yeshiva, one in france, one in la, one in ny, so that is $52000 in tuition plus levies etc, air fares, allowances. In my experience there is always a catch to a bargain…lets hear from all the melbourne parents that are paying way less tuition…

WHY NOT?

The Australian Government gives millions of dollars in tuition assistance to children attending private schools. The school gets plenty of cash aside from the parent’s tuition. It’s time to step up the pressure on our govt. to do the same so our mosdos could afford to also!

Its about time all crown heights schools take it on
Hire more alumni to be fundraisers on commission only
I would be more comfortable giving extra donations to the schools if there was such a CAP this way I know everybody is equally paying tuition from day one
The family with one child today in seven years will have 6 kids in the school and the guy with 6 kids in school now in seven years will only have one left in school
It’s long term and it will work

Best school in the world

Remember the days when all Jewish children were entitled and received a Jewish education just because they were Jewish!

I know one thing. parents in Crown heights are squeezed by the yeshivas and this a major cause of sholom bayis kids that leave yeshivah and worse. I believe other Chabad mosdos around the world do the same ESPECIALLY the girls Seminaries. ENOUGH already. Hire fund raisers

wonderful
