Tuition & Fees

We understand the sacrifice involved in procuring for your children the very best formation possible. We also recognize that in many cases, this means the sacrifice of a parental income while children are of school age as a parent oversees the child's academic growth. As parents and guardians, we take this calling very seriously as we know we are the first educators of our children, and our home is the first school. While we are the primary educators of our children, we understand that procuring the very best education sometimes means outsourcing the instruction of subjects to a specialist, a practice in keeping with the oldest traditions. We also acknowledge the great benefit that comes with learning from various instructors, teaching students resilience and adaptability, qualities necessary for well-adjusted life outside the home. Further, we value the experience of learning with fellow students of various ages and the reciprocal benefit to both the older and the younger student in such an arrangement. At Jerome Institute, we've created an environment predicated on these principles and we do our best to make it affordable because we believe everyone should have access to our courses and to the formational experience we offer.

We strive to offer rigorous study and distinguished instruction. We support and encourage parental autonomy in education, regardless of whether that means your local public, private, or home institution. For this reason, we offer you a variety of options: a la carte courses during the school day and after school, two and three-day options, and in-person and online formats. Finally, we offer some options to assist with funding your Jerome Prep courses.

Community Support Contribution
Parents are encouraged to make a contribution of volunteer hours each year helping with various events and activities. Volunteer support is essential because volunteers help make many activities possible, including classroom support, special events, and day-to-day operations that directly benefit students.

Because not all families are able to volunteer due to other commitments, we offer a financial contribution option. This ensures that every family can participate in supporting the community in a way that works for them.

Community Support Contribution is used to:

  • Help cover the staffing necessary to offer open spaces for students and families such as the dining room, the game room, and the gym

  • Ensure fun and enriching programs continue for students like the Christmas Dinner, Easter Celebration, and Student Plays

  • Offset the cost of cleaning and upkeep


Community Support is discussed after Registration. Parents are encouraged to propose their own contribution ideas based on their interests and areas of expertise—whether that’s supporting a classroom project, sharing a professional skill, helping with events, or contributing in a behind-the-scenes way. We welcome creative ideas and are happy to work with families to identify volunteer opportunities that are meaningful, appropriate, and manageable.


Tuition Assistance

Jerome Prep Support
We offer teacher aide and classroom support opportunities that can offset your child's tuition. Teacher and Classroom Support Aides assist instructors with classroom administration and small group work primarily in K-5 age groups. Classroom support involves overseeing areas of the facilities, ensuring proper use and cleanup, and activity setup logistics.  All support applicants, just as all instructors, must complete the application and interview process, safe environment training, and undergo a background check. 

Payment Plans
Payment plans can be arranged after a student's registration is complete. A deposit is required to reserve your course seats.
