Admissions

The Torah School of Greater Washington is a Torah Umesorah affiliate founded to serve families from all segments of the Greater Washington community. We welcome students without regard to the affiliation, background, or degree of religious practice in the home, and we are open to students, faculty, and administrative staff of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.

Admission to our school is open to all children of the Jewish faith, as defined by the Halachah. Kindergarten applicants must be 5 years old by September 1, and First Grade applicants must be 6 years old by September 1.

Acceptance of all new applicants is based upon a personal interview and an evaluation of appropriate placement. Where warranted, formalized testing will be required by the Headmaster for entrance to the school. Continued attendance in the Torah School is dependent upon the maintenance of satisfactory academic and behavioral standards.

Please note that no registration will be accepted nor will a place be held for a child if the parents are not current with tuition and day care payments from previous years. In addition, all financial arrangements for the current year must be completed before a youngster may begin the school year. Limited scholarship assistance may be available to families with demonstrated need without regard to race, color, and national or ethnic origin.
