How much does a Teen Retreat cost?

The tuition for a teen retreat is $2,500. Subsidized tuition is available based on household income.

Our equitable tuition structure accommodates a wide range of household incomes. Any household making less than $250,000 a year will have their tuition subsidized by scholarship funds; our tuition calculator determines what amount your household pays. We will meet 100% of each household’s need until the funding is gone.

Household income:

  • Below $250,000: $2,000 tuition cost
  • Below $200,000: $1,350
  • Below $100,000: $750
  • Below $50,000: $250

Equitable Tuition Structure

Our current equitable tuition structure is as progressive and equitable as possible while being as grounded in our current economic framework as necessary for financial sustainability. Every household’s ability to pay tuition allows us to continue to offer this unique payment model. We fundraise all year in order to ensure we can continue this equitable tuition model.

Full Tuition, Payment Plans, and Balance

Tuition to a retreat may be paid with credit card or check. The full balance of the retreat tuition must be paid three weeks in advance of the retreat start.

We are happy to accommodate payment plans that work for you and your household. Please email registrar@ibme.com if you have any questions!
