Admissions Process

List of 6 items.

• Step One

  Call or email our Admissions Office to make an appointment and tour Scheck Hillel Community School. Though we love meeting families in person, a tour is not required to submit an application. 

• Step Two

  Please complete and submit the online application along with a $250 non-refundable application fee. The system will redirect you to our wait pool form for grade levels that are at capacity. 
  
  Please note that the completion of an application or application process does not guarantee space nor acceptance.
  
  The deadline for our first round of admissions acceptance is January 30, 2025. After this date, applications will be reviewed and candidates will be accepted on a rolling basis, space permitting.

• Step Three

  Once the application has been submitted, each applicant will receive a checklist, where you can view the necessary documents and requirements that which must be completed in order for the candidate to be considered for the next steps. Please note that those who complete a waitpool form will not receive a checklist nor will documents be accepted until the possibility of a space becomes available.
  
  

  Please upload all items to our portal as our process is completely paperless and user friendly!
