How to enroll

Step 1: Get in touch
Call the office, text, or write to us. Someone answers within a school day, and can say whether there is room in your child's grade.

Step 2: Visit the school
Come for a visit day: a morning in a classroom and a talk with the head of school. Children come along, and parents can see the library and the meeting room.

The visit
What a visit day is
A parent and a student arrive at eight, sit in on a morning class and see the library. The head of school talks with the family afterward about the grade, the Hebrew classes and what the school asks of parents. Tell us about anything your child needs at the visit; we ask privately once you enroll.
