Dear Yeshivat Noam Parents of Incoming Buds and Kindergarten Students for 2013-2014,
In order to accommodate all of our parent body, as well as be sensitive to financial pressures within the community, we are pleased to inform you that we will be lowering the tuition for our Buds and Kindergarten programs, for the 2013-2014 school year. We are so appreciative to all of you who have contributed generously this past year with time and financial resources, enabling us to lower ALL tuitions this current year. Through a continued focus on budgeting and cash management, coupled with a record annual campaign, we are able to pass along this savings to our parent body, while maintaining our commitment to low student-teacher ratios and academic excellence.
BUDS:
We are pleased to inform you that the Buds tuition will be lowered while continuing to deliver excellence and innovation with the same low student - teacher ratio. The new revised tuition rate for each Buds student for 2013-2014 will be $8,950 plus $850 registration, totaling $9,800. In addition, the extended Buds hours (8:30am-3:00pm) that began this year will continue as a permanent change to the program.
In past years, some Yeshivat Noam families have elected to enroll their children in one of the less expensive local Pre-K options that are available. For this current school year of 2012-2013, we were able to fill our stellar Buds program with our current pricing. With our new reduced tuition rates and extended hours, we expect an even greater demand for our program. Therefore, we want to stress to all of our existing Yeshivat Noam parents that we will be unable to guarantee your child's spot in Kindergarten unless you enroll your eligible child in Buds for the 2013-2014 academic year. Of course, all siblings of existing Yeshivat Noam families currently have a reserved spot in our Buds program. However, families who choose not to confirm that reservation by enrolling their children in Buds risk losing a seat for their child in Kindergarten and beyond, if that spot is filled by a new incoming family.
KINDERGARTEN:
We are pleased to inform you that the Kindergarten tuition will be reduced by $1,050 per student, while continuing to deliver excellence and innovation with the same low student - teacher ratio. The new revised tuition rate for each Kindergarten student will be $12,950 plus the $850 registration fee.
ALL EARLY CHILDHOOD PARENTS:
Recognizing the needs of working parents for whom affordable pre-care and after-care programs are vital, Yeshivat Noam offers a non-academic and less expensive pre- and post-care option. Pre-care is available from 8:00 am and post-care is available until 4:30 pm.
We know that September 2013 may seem like a long time away, but if you plan to enroll your child in Buds next year, please click on the Buds sibling application
Wishing you and your family a Chag Sameach,

I for one would love to know how they can afford to do this given their debt load?

Pre-Kindergarten $12,700.00 + registration, etc.
Kindergarten $13,800.00 + registration, etc.
I don't know why Noam would have cut prices any earlier. It didn't need to. It had the demand. The other schools did not cut prices to be nice, they did it because no one was enrolling in their schools! Now that Noam is feeling the bite of competition, they are going to be competitive. But why should they have cut the prices before now if people were willing to pay them?

You're right, my mistake. I bet they cut it next year though.

What's pathetic is that prior to GD. all the legacy schools knew how to do was raise tuition by 6-10% a year. All of a sudden, GD gets things done with Heatid, and all the legacy schools are running scared, panicking and lowering tuition without explaining why they couldn't lower tuition in the pre-GD years.
