The regular tuition applies to children of IAS Faculty, Visiting Professors and Visitors, and Princeton area families without IAS affiliation.
The discounted tuition, as specified below, applies only to children of IAS Members and IAS Staff.
Tuition is payable by the year or in ten monthly installments. Although monthly installments may be used, such an arrangement does not constitute a month-to-month contract. Students are enrolled in Crossroads for the full academic year.
IAS Member Preschool Subsidy:
In addition to a discounted tuition rate, eligible IAS Members receive a Preschool Subsidy from the Institute to help defray the costs of childcare. For more information, go to https://www.ias.edu/humanresources/mempolicies
Tuition Assistance for families without IAS affiliation:
Crossroads maintains a Tuition Assistance Fund for eligible enrolled families without IAS affiliation. Please send inquiries regarding eligibility criteria to crossroads@ias.edu
The tuition assistance program is funded by the personal generosity of the larger Crossroads community through private donations and fundraising events at the school. A notable source of our Tuition Assistance Fund is the generous initiative in memory of Lalitha Harish-Chandra by her family. To learn more, go to Lily Harish-Chandra Tuition Assistance Program page.
While we want to be supportive to as many families in need as possible, please understand that our fund is finite and assistance is therefore limited.
