In the days since the re-enrollment contracts arrived in mailboxes, I have received several phone calls and emails regarding the tuition increase for the 2020-2021 school year. Here is what it is important to know:
- As an independent school, James River receives no state or federal funding. We rely solely on tuition dollars and fundraising to provide an exceptional education for your children.
- The “fixed “ costs of running James River Day School (salaries and benefits, building maintenance, utilities, etc.) are actually not “fixed” and these costs increase every year.
- The cost of consistently advancing and improving our programs, whether working to add new opportunities for our students or improving upon current ones, comes from tuition dollars.
Enrolling your children at James River Day School each year is an investment. James River’s exceptional faculty provides a highly personal and character-based academic program that delivers on our mission and challenges your children. Your investment will yield returns for a lifetime.
