Steps in the admissions process

  • Submit the application form and upload the required supporting documents via this online application platform.
  • ‘Ugróiskola’ – School Preparation Sessions
    More information here.

These sessions aim to develop children’s skills effectively through focused, playful activities in small groups, while also helping them prepare for school.

Participation is not a requirement for admission, and completing the program does not guarantee a place. However, positive observations made during the ‘Ugróiskola’ sessions may support a child’s application to the school.

  • Playhouse Sessions
    We invite children applying from outside our kindergarten who have not attended ‘Ugróiskola’, together with their parents, to attend two Playhouse Sessions. We recommend this application route for families currently living abroad.

These sessions give us an opportunity to get to know the children and their parents. Children take part in small-group activities led by our teachers, involving play, drawing and movement. The sessions also help teachers get to know the children ahead of forming the future classes. Meanwhile, parents are invited to meet and talk with members of the school’s leadership team and some of our teachers.

Dates: Exact dates will be published on this page at the beginning of the school year.

Final application deadline for the 2027–28 school year: 19 February 2027. All required documents must be submitted by this date.

Only complete applications submitted by the deadline can be considered in the spring admissions process. Late or incomplete applications may be considered during the additional summer admissions round, subject to available places.

All required documents must be submitted before an application can be considered.

Parents applying for a Grade 1 place for their child are asked to complete the following on the application platform by the application deadline (19 February) or one week before the final ‘Ugróiskola’ session:

  • Letter of motivation: Why is it important to your family to be part of a Jewish educational institution? Please describe any relevant family connections, if applicable.
  • Parent questionnaire for Grade 1 applicants
  • Declaration: Regarding compulsory schooling/school readiness, participation in the admissions process and enrolment.

Families will be informed of the admissions decision before the enrolment dates at their local catchment-area schools.
