You must list all children in your family who will be in a tuition charging program (PreK to 12), not just your children attending Arie Crown.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact the school at financialaid@ariecrown.org.

As a reminder, any change in income +/- 10% for the year, must be reported to the business office to determine if any adjustment will be made to your current scholarship.

JUF Right Start, the first program of its kind, was created to increase awareness and access to Jewish early childhood programs for Chicago-area families. JUF Right Start provides a financial voucher for families enrolling their children during the academic year in a Jewish infant, toddler or preschool program for the first time.

The Heerey Scholarship is a grant provided by the Bernard Heerey Family Foundation. A qualified family may be eligible for a scholarship for up to as much as the cost of one full tuition amount of a 1st-8th grade student.

"Starting from the earliest days of a child’s school years there is a significant emphasis on building healthy, social, emotionally stable and confident kids."

Arie Crown Hebrew Day School is an affiliate of the ATT, a partner with the JUF in serving our community, and is supported by the Chicago Kehillah Jewish Education Fund.
