Solomon Schechter welcomes applications from parents of children of strong academic potential who desire a challenging program that promotes active learning and is enriched by an intensive Jewish atmosphere. In addition to seeking applicants of high academic potential, the school, through its admission process, strives to develop insight into each child as a young person with unique interests, talents, needs, and inclinations. At the same time it offers parents of applicants an opportunity to gain extensive in-depth knowledge of the school so they can make an informed choice to enroll. Admissions decisions are based on an individual interview of the child, an observation at the child's present school, a personal interview of the child's parents, standardized testing, and the recommendation of the child's present school. Personal interview take place beginning in October.
Parents are welcome to see the school and meet with the admission staff prior to applying.
Arrangements for a visit can be made by telephoning the school. In addition, an open house is held in the fall to offer an opportunity to parents to meet with members of the faculty and with parents of children presently attending the school.
