(Optional): Apply for Tuition Assistance

If you would like to be considered for tuition assistance, please complete the separate tuition assistance application by the stated deadline. Tuition assistance awards are released at the same time as admission decisions.

Tuition Assistance Application

Once your application materials are submitted, our admissions team will be in touch to schedule a meeting with a teacher and/or administrator. This is an opportunity for us to get to know your child and ensure Gesher is the right fit for their educational journey.

During this visit, your child will also spend time in the classroom with the students they would be learning alongside.

For students entering Pre-K and Kindergarten, we will also typically schedule pre-enrollment screening at this point in the process.

Acceptance letters are sent out in late February. Then, they continue on a rolling basis pending available space.

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