The $155 difference goes into a Community Fund. We know that Brooklyn Apple families can afford different amounts of tuition from year to year and even during the same year. We also know that Brooklyn Apple families care about each other. Our Community Fund allows for more diversity in our student body, creates stability for the community, allows BAA to pay the bills, and make sit possible for us to offer classes to the widest possible range of incomes.
BIPOC families are given priority in distributions from the Community Fund.
Brooklyn Apple is committed to diversity within our student body. As a practical application of our diversity and inclusion goals, we prioritize BIPOC families needing financial aid to allow historically excluded families to access our unique educational model.
All monthly tuition payments higher than $445/month contribute to our Community Fund.
