Thanks to the vision and generosity of Ann and Jeremy Pava, New England Jewish Academy now offers a transformative subsidized tuition for all students from ECC – 12th Grade.
“We genuinely believe that sending children to a Jewish day school is the most important decision parents can make,” said Ann and Jeremy Pava. “We know that day schools immerse entire families in exploring our tradition and sacred values and enables a knowledge and understanding of Judaism that can never be replicated anywhere.”
“We hope this gift will encourage enrollment by making day school tuition affordable and accessible to a broader range of families while also ensuring that our school provides an academic program of the highest quality.”
At NEJA, we are committed to making Jewish education accessible to all families. Our income-based tuition cap ensures that no family will pay more than a set percentage of their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for tuition.
For the 2025-26 school year, families earning under $300,000 will pay no more than 15% of their AGI, those earning between $300,000–$400,000 will pay up to 17.5%, and families earning above $400,000 will be capped at 20%. For example, a family earning $180,000 with a tuition obligation of $33,500 would see their tuition capped at $27,000. This cap does not include registration and other school fees, and AGI is based on 2024 tax returns.
Our goal is to make NEJA more affordable while continuing to provide an outstanding education infused with Jewish values.
