Continuous Enrollment
At Hillel Academy, we’re thrilled that so many families choose to stay with us year after year, with over 90% of eligible students returning annually. To make life easier for our busy families, we transitioned to a Continuous Enrollment program—a simple, stress-free way to secure your child’s spot at Hillel without the need to re-enroll each year.
This program ensures that your child’s educational journey continues uninterrupted, so you can focus on what matters most—your family’s growth and success.
Have questions? Stephanie Samuel, our Director of Admissions, is here to help! Contact her anytime at admissions@hillelacademytampa.com.
Mark Your Calendar: The Opt-Out deadline for currently enrolled families is the first Thursday in February each year for the following school year. Don’t miss it!

How does Continuous Enrollment benefit my family?
Continuous Enrollment streamlines the re-enrollment process, making it effortless for families. Once you sign your Continuous Enrollment Contract, your child(ren) will automatically be enrolled for the next school year unless you submit an Opt-Out/Withdrawal Form by February's deadline.
This simplified approach saves time for families and allows Hillel Academy to plan effectively for staffing, programs, materials, and curriculum, ensuring the highest quality educational experience for our students.
What is the penalty if I do not Opt Out by the Continuous Enrollment Anniversary Date (first Thursday in February)?
After the Continuous Enrollment Anniversary date (first Thursday in February), the annual commitment fee (10% of total tuition) is forfeited. View Hillel’s Opt-Out/Withdrawal Policy for complete information about withdrawal protocol and unique circumstances
