Family inquiry
Call to introduce your family, ask whether the school is considering new students, and learn who should guide the conversation.
Admissions conversation
Start with
your child.
Every family arrives with a different story. A direct conversation can explore your son’s strengths, support needs, Jewish learning, and hopes for greater independence.
Suggested route · confirm with schoolFrom first question
From first question
to a thoughtful fit.
These five stages organize the questions many families may want to ask. The school must confirm its actual process, required records, timing, and decision criteria.
Profile review
Ask what records are useful. This may include recent evaluations, an IEP or IESP, and related-service reports—only if requested.
Visit & meet
Ask whether a parent visit, records meeting, or student meeting is appropriate. All campus visits should be arranged in advance.
Team fit
Explore whether the current program, peer group, teaching approach, services, and daily rhythm can support your son’s goals.
Plan clearly
If both sides wish to continue, confirm costs, services, transportation, outside supports, timing, and transition steps in writing.
A two-way conversation
Questions that keep
the focus on fit.
A meaningful placement is more than a label. It connects the learner, the teaching team, the daily environment, and the family’s priorities.
Share a clear picture of what helps your son engage and grow. Then invite equally clear information about what is available now—not what appeared in an older public description.
Where does he shine?
Interests, motivators, communication, relationships, Jewish life, and emerging independence.
What helps him thrive?
Instructional pace, sensory needs, routines, visual supports, reinforcement, and communication tools.
What is available now?
Class grouping, staffing, curriculum, therapies, social opportunities, daily schedule, and transition learning.
What would progress mean?
Academic, Torah, communication, social, daily-living, safety, community, and vocational priorities.
Arrive prepared
Helpful context.
No assumptions.
Keep useful information nearby for the first call, but send records only through a method the school confirms is appropriate and secure.

Admissions clarity
Known facts.
Open questions.
Public information offers a useful introduction, but a current family conversation is the only reliable next step.
Contact & visit informationIs there an online application?
No official online application was located in the public sources reviewed. Call (718) 693-9032 to ask how the school currently receives inquiries and records.
What are the admission requirements?
No current official checklist or eligibility criteria were found publicly. The materials above are suggestions for a productive first conversation, not requirements.
Are there application deadlines or rolling admission?
No official deadline or rolling-admission statement was found. Ask about current openings, timing, and the appropriate entry point for your family.
What is tuition, and is aid available?
A current tuition schedule and financial-support policy were not found. Families should confirm all costs, payment terms, district procedures, and possible supports directly; no funding or reimbursement is guaranteed.
Does submitting records guarantee a student meeting or placement?
No. The suggested stages on this page do not describe an official decision process. The school must explain how it reviews inquiries and determines whether its current program can be a fit.
Your next step
A good conversation begins
with one honest question.
Call ahead to ask about current openings, program fit, required information, and an appointment. Visits to the shared campus should be arranged in advance.
