Over the past ten years, many Jewish day schools and yeshivas have explored alternatives to traditional tuition and financial assistance programs. On 11/4/20 Prizmah hosted a webinar on alternative tuition models to help school leaders gain a broad understanding of the different types of alternative tuition models and learn from two schools that have successfully implemented alternative tuition programs.
