Registration and Tuition
BJEP 2019-2020 Tuition
8 Sessions, Includes Parenting Through a Jewish Lens workshop for parents (and free babysitting for younger children)
BJEP is a non-profit and we rely on the generosity of our families to cover our real operating costs. We work very hard to keep tuition affordable; even so, our program, like most non-profit programs, requires additional contributions to make up the deficit. The actual cost per student is $2,000. If you are in a position to pay the actual cost, we would appreciate it; and, if your means allow for additional donations over and above $2,000, we would be all the more grateful. Please note that while tuition is not tax-deductible, monies above our stated tuition are tax-deductible. Please consult a tax advisor for additional information regarding your individual situation.
**BJEP Referral Program**
BJEP relies on word-of-mouth and our current families are our best source of referrals. You will receive $250 off of your tuition for EACH new student you refer who registers for BJEP and attends at least the first three sessions. If they register two children, or you refer two families who each register a child, we will give you $500 off of your child’s tuition, and so on. (You will receive your referral bonus in November.)
New families who register by 7/1/19 will receive a $100 tuition discount.
Families who enroll three or more children in BJEP for the same school year will receive a $100 tuition discount.
Families who register after the last day of classes, May 5, 2019 will be assessed a $100 administrative fee.
New students can enroll in BJEP starting in the Spring Semester. The cost for the second semester of the BJEP school year is $850 for grades 2-7 and $650 for grades K-1. Tuition is due in full at the time of enrollment. Students will not be allowed to attend classes without payment confirmation.
We invite each family to contribute at least $18 at the time of registration to The BJEP Heartbeat. Your generosity will directly support our efforts to care for and celebrate one another.
A non-refundable and non-transferable deposit of $250 per child will reserve a place in the class for all forms of payment including Smart Tuition.
Any tuition balance due to BJEP must be made monthly through Smart Tuition and paid in full by December 31, 2019. Contact Adina Davies at adina@bjep.com for information or questions about Smart Tuition.
A non-refundable and non-transferable deposit of $250 per child reserves a place in the class. No tuition refunds are granted after the third session of classes.
Each family is required to sign up for one BJEP parent cooperative job per student registered in order for payment to be accepted. Please use the link to the right to view the job descriptions and sign up for a job. We encourage families to sign up for an extra job or two if possible. We could use the help!
If you have any questions about jobs, please contact Adina@bjep.com.
Madrichim Teen Program
Graduates of BJEP are encouraged to continue as Madrichim (Classroom Aides) in grades 8-12. Madrichim are an integral part of our classroom communities and are paid a stipend. They assist classroom teachers, support student learning and provide continuity for the BJEP community. They are considered part of the BJEP staff and attend staff development trainings. Interested teens should contact Cantor Jeri Robins at director@bjep.com to apply.
Family Photo
Please email a family picture with the names of those pictured to info@bjep.com. We want to get to know you and your family better and be able to recognize members of your family who are currently attending BJEP and those who are not. BJEP families come in many shapes and sizes, so if your family has step-parents or 2 sets of parents, please email more than one picture. The pictures are for internal use only and will not be put on social media or be used for publicity.
High Holiday Services 2019
BJEP will hold High Holiday Services on the Brandeis campus on the first day of Rosh Hashanah (Monday, September 30) and on Yom Kippur (Wednesday, October 9) for an additional charge. As a convenience and to help facilitate planning, we encourage paying for your tickets at the time of registration.
