KADIMA HEBREW ACADEMY/KADIMA HESCHEL WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL
ANNOUNCES COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP TO LOWER TUITION

West Hills, December 2, 2008 - Kadima Hebrew Academy/Kadima Heschel West Middle
School announced today it will reduce the cost of tuition for the 2009-2010 academic
year as part of a new Community Tuition Partnership.

“We believe an excellent Jewish education should be affordable for everyone,” said Dr.
Barbara Gereboff, Head of School for Kadima Hebrew Academy/Kadima Heschel West.
“In this economy, Jewish education is one investment with guaranteed returns.” The
reduced tuition structure will benefit existing families, new families to the school and the
greater community. “Kadima is taking a stand for the middle-income Jewish family –
we’re addressing economic realities and doing our part to not only offer an exceptional
academic curriculum, but also to ensure Jewish continuity. Jewish day school graduates
are the leaders of tomorrow, not only within the Jewish community, but in the
community-at-large,” said Shawn Evenhaim, President of the Board of Trustees for
Kadima.

Through a unanimous decision, the Board of Trustees voted to reduce tuition an average
of 20% for students enrolled from Kindergarten through 8th grade. This initiative is
supported by a generous partnership within the school’s community as well as private
donors. The school will continue offering its dynamic and enriched academic education
without sacrificing any components of its program.

Kadima Hebrew Academy/Kadima Heschel West is dedicated to educating children of
diverse backgrounds through an outstanding General Studies curriculum that prepares
them for success in top high schools and universities. The Judaic Studies program
connects children to their community while nurturing compassionate, ethical, and
socially responsible individuals. Kadima graduates leave with excellent academic
preparation as well as a clear understanding of their Jewish values.
