Admission Decisions

B’nai Shalom is able to offer rolling admissions throughout the school year, thus the Admission Committee meets quickly to review application. Once an application file is complete, we work to notify families within two weeks.

Once a child is accepted, families are eligible to apply for tuition assistance.

Infant Application Process

• Inquiry & Tour

  • Families are welcome to inquire and schedule a tour at any time. A conversation and/or campus tour is required before a family may submit an application for the Infant Classroom.

• Timeline

  • Applications should be submitted as soon as pregnancy is confirmed and an estimated due date is established.

  • Families will indicate a predicted start date on their application.

  • Once enrolled and deposit submitted, the official start date will be determined in partnership with the school following the child's birth. Families may adjust the start date up to 90 days prior to the child's anticipated first day on campus.

• Enrollment Hierarchy

  • Siblings of currently enrolled students and children of faculty/staff

  • Families with Jewish affiliation

  • Date of application (first come, first served)

Due to high demand for Infant care at B'nai Shalom, placement cannot be guaranteed, as openings are dependent on currently enrolled children transitioning into the next classroom.
