Application Process

Congratulations on making one of the most important steps in your child's education!

The application process typically begins in the fall prior to the year you are interested in admittance for your child. Listed below are necessary steps in order to begin the process.

This information should answer some frequently asked questions, and provide some important dates throughout the process as well.

Step 1: Take a (virtual) tour of our school

Due to guidelines from local government and health organizations in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19, in-person tours will be offered only to families who have completed an application for enrollment. The tour will take place after school hours or on a Saturday. Click here for a virtual tour video and photo gallery of some of the spaces available for children to learn and play at New City School.

During this time, we require each prospective family meet with our Director of Enrollment Management, Melanie Harmon, via Zoom. This allows you to learn more and get answers to questions about our school. Click here to get started!

Step 4: Visit for an assessment

We require all applicants participate in an assessment. Due to COVID-19, we have changed our assessment procedures to adhere to safety guidelines and procedures. Applicants for 4/5 and kindergarten will be individual assessments on our campus in February. Assessments for 3/4 applicants will be conducted virtually via zoom. Families will receive notification about the assessment, dates, and times offered after January 1st. Assessments are scheduled once an application is submitted.
