Admissions Process
Because every child has different strengths and challenges, our admissions process at SINAI Schools follows a series of steps. This is in order to make sure that before we accept your child, we are confident that we will be able to provide the best educational environment for him or her, taking into account all academic, social, and emotional needs.
Generally, the admissions process follows these steps:
Contact Our Dean
With 7 schools serving children with a wide range of abilities, the first step is usually to contact our Dean, Rabbi Dr. Yisrael Rothwachs, to determine which school would be the best fit for your child, and to set up a tour at that school.

On the day of your school tour, you will meet with the Director to discuss your child’s profile and what SINAI Schools could potentially offer your child.

Apply Online
Applying is easy using our Online Application. We encourage families to apply online as it simplifies submission and provides parents with a tool for tracking the status of their child’s admission after their application has been submitted.
After you have submitted your application and taken a tour, the Director will schedule a different date for you to bring your child to the school for a visit and student interview.
