Financial assistance is available, as Chicago Jewish Day School is committed to working with families so that children can take advantage of a CJDS education.
The Financial Aid Committee uses the services of the Private School Aid Service (PSAS). PSAS applications are available in the school office and must be postmarked by February 3, 2012. In addition, the Financial Aid Committee requests that you supplement your application with a letter, sent to Chicago Jewish Day School, postmarked by February 3, 2012. This letter should include the following:
- A restatement of the amount of financial aid you are requesting and why.
- An explanation of any extenuating circumstance regarding your financial situation
Please contact the school office with any additional questions.
