The Elisabeth Morrow School

Tuition by Grade: 2018-2019

How Tuition Assistance is Awarded

EMS is committed to providing families with flexible payment options and tuition assistance. Admission and tuition assistance decisions are made independently of each other; tuition assistance is based solely on the family's financial resources.

The Tuition Assistance Committee will review all completed files, and approved tuition assistance will then be communicated to recipients with their enrollment contracts if their file is complete.

Our school uses a service called TADS which provides need-based tuition assistance analysis, including recommendation of what a family can reasonably contribute toward tuition. All information from TADS is kept confidential.

See our Affording an EMS Education page for further details.

Application Information

The Office of Enrollment Management is accepting applications for some grades for the 2018-2019 academic year, as well as applications for all grades for the 2019-2020 academic year. See our How to Apply page for step-by-step instructions.

Transportation

EMS offers select transportation options for families in New York City and New Jersey. Through Rainbow Transportation, we give families the option of roundtrip or one-way transport. Our New York students also have the option of a late bus, which leaves our campus at 4:30 p.m., for after school or sports activities. Families truly enjoy the convenience of a late bus.

New York City Routes

Two buses pick up door-to door from the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and Washington Heights. We also offer the convenience of a common stop at 186th Street and Broadway, for families who live north of Cabrini Blvd, Inwood,  Riverdale, and other areas beyond the usual route. Pick-up times begin at 6:30 a.m., with the last stop in New York at 7:30 a.m. (our common stop).

• New York one-way -$2925
• New York roundtrip-$4495

New Jersey Routes

Two New Jersey routes offer door-to-door service to towns along the river. Families living in Fort Lee, Edgewater, Cliffside Park, North Bergen, West New York, and Guttenberg may use this bus service. Pick-up times range from 6:30-6:50 a.m. depending on location.

We now offer a common stop in West New York at Sowing Seed School. Families may utilize this stop for a.m. pick-up or p.m. drop-off. After the children are dropped off, they may experience an after-school program until 7 PM. Sowing Seed is conveniently located across the street from the Port Imperial Ferry Station.

There is a monitor to support students and communicate with families on each of our routes. The driver’s main focus is operating the bus and transporting children safely. Each monitor uses the Glympse digital application to share the location of the bus via live map.

• New Jersey one-way-$2450
• New Jersey roundtrip- $3750
