Tuition and Financial Support

Tuition

For the 2023-24 school year, Bialik’s tuition is set at $16,500, plus a capital levy of $1,375. Parents receive a charitable tax receipt, ranging from 60% to 80% of the fee, depending on the grade. Our tuition fees include most textbooks and class trips.

Tuition Support

Bialik is able to offer financial assistance programs to our families, with the support of the UJA of Greater Toronto.

The UJA’s Day School Scholarships website and application system provide the information needed to access support and answer your family’s questions about Jewish day school affordability. You can find out if you qualify for a scholarship and get an estimate of how much you can expect to pay in tuition using the quick and anonymous online Day School Scholarship calculator. The UJA Community Scholarships portal will then connect you to the applicable scholarship application. More information can also be found in the Frequently Asked Questions.

Applications open October 24, 2022 for all Day School Scholarships for the 2023-24 school year, including Tuition Assistance, the Generations Trust Scholarship and the Discovery Grant.

Day School Tuition Assistance

Bialik offers tuition assistance to any family that qualifies under the guidelines provided by the UJA Federation’s Julia & Henry Koschitzky Centre for Jewish Education for students in JK to Grade 8. A fully confidential committee reviews all tuition assistance requests and support is based on each family’s financial situation. Please visit the UJA’s Day School Scholarships website to find out more.

Generations Trust Scholarship

Applicants must have two or three children between JK and Grade 8 enrolled at the same time in one or more of UJA- funded Jewish day schools.  The Generations Trust Scholarship sets a household tuition cap linked to one’s household income. The cap represents a family’s maximum total tuition fee and will not change with the number of students enrolled. The UJA’s quick and anonymous scholarship calculator will enable you to find out if your family is eligible and how much you can expect to pay in tuition.

Discovery Grant (Himel Branch)

The Discovery Grant is offered to new families who are entering Bialik’s Himel Branch in the 2023-24 school year. It provides a $3,600 tuition reduction per year for up to three years for new students who are the only child in their family to attend Jewish day school and are enrolling in JK – Grade 2.

The Discovery Grant is for new students who:

  • Are enrolled in JK-Grade 2 at Bialik Hebrew Day School’s Himel Branch.
  • Do not benefit from any other Day School Scholarships.
  • Have a minimum household income of $120,000 and meet UJA’s income eligibility guidelines,  based on  employment income, self-employment income, and passively earned income (such as investments or trust income).

To learn more about the program and your family’s eligibility, we invite you to schedule a virtual coffee chat with a member of our Admissions team.
