Enrollment

Enrollment procedures begin in January/February. Registration is accepted on a first come, first served basis. Priority is given to currently enrolled students, United Hebrew members, siblings of enrolled students, and then enrollment is open to the community.

Registration is complete when accompanied by the application and the registration fee. There is no credit for School Year families for vacations, holidays, illness, early withdrawals or school closing due to inclement weather, nor will make-up days be scheduled. Year Round families are entitled to two weeks’ vacation which is already included in your tuition.

Sibling Discount

There is a sibling discount applied to the oldest sibling for their permanent schedule.  Additional hours added on are not discounted.
