We strive to ensure broad access and to enroll the children of parents who may only afford partial payment of school tuition. We also understand that every family is unique and therefore affordability may differ. Financial need is determined by many factors including income, expenses, assets, debts, and other family circumstances. To learn more about payment plans and King David’s Tuition Assistance program, read the FAQs below or contact Debbie Appelbaum, Director of Admissions. King David’s Tuition Assistance application is online and is available for applications for the 2025-2026 school year.
In addition to tuition, students pay Activity Fees ($700 for students in Grades 8 to 11, $800 for Grade 12 students, which includes their graduation fee); Building Maintenance Fees ($100 per student); Security Fee ($250 per student), Parent Action Committee (PAC) Fees ($50 per student).. Tuition includes most school activities. At various times during the year, students may be asked to share the cost of additional programs like field trips, the school-wide retreat, the trip to Israel, the Grade 11 trip to Los Angeles, and other programs as they arise.
A non-refundable application fee of $150 is required with your application if received by January 16, 2026. For applications received after this date, a $250 fee is required. An Annual Commitment Fee of $1,000 (or 10% of amount assessed by the Tuition Assistance Committee) is required with enrollment and is applied to tuition. A non-refundable $250 late fee is applied to enrollments completed after March 1, 2026.
Tuition may be paid in full or in installments, either in three (3) equal installments (in April, August and January) or ten (10) equal monthly installments (from April to January). A portion of fees paid qualify as a tax-deductible donation.
We are committed to ensuring that a King David education remains accessible to all students regardless of their economic circumstances. Tuition Assistance is awarded on the basis of demonstrated need. Tuition Assistance decisions are made independently from admissions decisions and in no way affect a candidate’s chances for admission. The Tuition Assistance Committee (TAC) is separate from the school and all financial information is kept strictly confidential.
Families with a combined income under $350,000 (including business income) submit detailed financial information (income, expenses, assets, and liabilities) through an online application form. King David’s Tuition Assistance Committee (TAC) reviews the recommendation to ensure that all available information has been taken into account and then finalizes the award.

Please read the Tuition Assistance Application Instructions before you begin the application.
Tuition assistance awarded in the first year of attendance is verified annually and for most families, will be consistent throughout the student’s years at King David unless there is a significant change in the family’s financial circumstances such as an increase of income by more than 10%, adding a sibling, or graduating a student. Assuming no significant changes, the annual tuition will increase by the percentage increase applied to full tuition (typically 3 – 5.5%).
