Admissions Process
1. Application Forms
Parents are to complete and submit a "Student Application Form" for each child. A non-refundable application fee of $350 must accompany this application.
Before your child enters school, we will need a signed Certificate of Immunization Status and the Family/Medical Information sheet.
2. School Visit
New student who begin school at the beginning of a school year will be invited to take part in an orientation day with other new Chai Tots families. Students who begin mid-year should arrange a time for a school visit for the parent(s) and child prior to the child's first day of school so as to familiarize the child with his/her new school settings. One of our staff members will give you a tour of our facility and get to know your individual interests and expectations.
3. Review
This phase occurs after all parts of the application have been received and the student and family visits are completed. Families are kept up to date on the status of each application, especially if teacher recommendations or school records have not been received. For each applicant, the Principal meets with the faculty members who observed the student. The completed application is then discussed with the Admissions Committee.
4. Notification
The last phase of the application process is notification and, if the student is accepted, all admission forms must be submitted and the first non-refundable tuition deposit must be made prior to the child's starting date.
If you need assistance in completing the application, or for any other information, please feel free to contact us.
