On assuming you won’t qualify

• I assumed adjusted tuition was for someone else. It turned out it was for us.

  ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee

  Copy

• We looked at the number on the website and stopped reading. I wish we’d asked a year earlier.

• We still pay a real amount. It’s just an amount we can actually plan around.

  ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
