Gesher Jewish Day School Admissions

Admissions at Gesher Jewish Day School

At Gesher, we welcome students who will thrive in our rigorous and supportive program that combines General and Jewish Studies. We seek families who share our commitment to academic excellence, community, and the values at the heart of our school’s mission.

1. Schedule a Personal Tour

If you haven’t visited our campus yet, we encourage you to come see Gesher in action. Tours are available outside of school hours and on Sundays.

  • Call our Admissions Office at 703-962-9216, or

  • Request a tour online by submitting an inquiry here.

2. Submit Your Application

Complete the online application along with a $125 non-refundable application fee.

We strongly recommend submitting your Need-Based Tuition Assistance application at the same time, as the review process can take several weeks.

3. Meet with a Teacher

After receiving your application, we will schedule a meeting with one of our teachers. This helps us get to know your child and ensures we can best support their educational journey.

4. Admissions Decisions

  • Acceptance letters are sent out the last Friday in February and continue on a rolling basis thereafter.

  • Signed contracts are due within one week of receiving the acceptance letter.
