Tuition Payment Plans
In order to assure convenience and efficiency for our parents as well as the school, Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy has once again retained FACTS Management Company to manage all tuition payment plans and collections for the 2026-2027 school year. All tuition payments will be made to FACTS either by Automated Bank Draft (ACH) or Credit Card. Please note, if you choose to make payments through a credit card, there is a 3.05% processing charge.
If you are a returning family, you will automatically be re-enrolled in FACTS using the same information, choice of payment plan, and dates of payment as last year. If you want to make any changes to your payment plan information, please login to your FACTS online account and make the changes or contact the Business Office for assistance. To access the FACTS sign in page, click here.
If you are a new family to Barrack, as part of the online enrollment process, you will be directed to the FACTS sign in page where you will need to set up a username and password and choose your tuition payment plan. If you have applied for tuition assistance and already have a username and password, you will still need to choose your tuition payment plan. Once you have completed the FACTS online enrollment, you will be redirected back to the online enrollment process. For more information about FACTS, see below.
The deadline for enrolling and re-enrolling for the 2026-2027 academic year is March 1, 2026. If you have any questions about the online enrollment and re-enrollment process, please contact the admissions office at admissions@jbha.org.

EITC
In addition to Barrack's own scholarship funds, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia has formed the Foundation for Jewish Day Schools, through which it distributes funds from Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs. Each student included in the EITC/OSTC application must be a resident of Pennsylvania living with their parent(s) or legal guardian(s). To access the 2026-2027 Foundation for Jewish Day Schools FAQS, click here.
The Foundation for Jewish Day Schools is using FACTS Management to process all EITC/OSTC applications. Since Barrack already uses FACTS Management for its Tuition Assistance application process, households who meet the 2025 tax year income limits in the table below will need to check both the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy and Foundation for Jewish Day Schools boxes in the application in order to be considered.

Family Referral Program
What is the “Family Referral Incentive Program”?
A financial incentive program that encourages current Barrack families to help recruit prospective families and new students, not already in the day school system, in “entry” grades 6 through 9. This program will award a $1,500 tuition credit for the following academic year to any current Barrack family whose referral of a new family leads to the enrollment of their child in grades 6 through 9.
What are the details of the “Family Referral Incentive Program”?
-
The program is open to all current families of Barrack students.
-
Referred families must be new to Barrack, i.e., they have not already had a child enrolled in any grade at Barrack in prior years, and new to Jewish day school.
-
The tuition credit applies per family referred and enrolled (not per student).
-
If two or more current families refer the same new family, the tuition credit will be split evenly between them. For the purpose of clarity and to avoid any confusion or conflicts, ONLY referring families listed within the online application completed by the new family will qualify to receive the tuition credit for the upcoming academic year.
-
Referring families qualify for the tuition credit when their name is provided on the online application by the new family by May 1, 2026 for the upcoming academic year.
How does the program work?
-
A current family can refer an unlimited number of prospective families as part of this incentive program during the year. The tuition credit cannot exceed the referring family’s net tuition responsibility for the upcoming school year and cannot be carried over as a credit.
-
There is no cash value to the referral credit and it is only disbursed to the referring current family if the new family enrolls and matriculates at Barrack the following academic year.
-
The referred family must follow and complete the regular enrollment process and the final decision for student acceptance rests solely with the Barrack administration.
-
The referring family’s tuition will be credited during the academic year the referred student begins.
-
Referrals may not be made retroactively.
-
If a family of a graduating senior (with no other current students) refers a new family to Barrack, their $1,500 credit will be given to the newly enrolled family as a one-time tuition credit.
