Application to EHS

 

Thank you for your interest in applying to The East Harlem School (EHS).

We are accepting students entering the 5th, 6th and 7th grades. The majority of the applications are for students entering the 5th grade.

There are many steps to the admissions process, and our Application Checklist below will help you through it. Download a printable copy of the checklist by clicking here. Please complete the items necessary in the following order:

  1. Fill out an EHS Admissions Application and submit a copy of your most recent 1040 form or other Annual Earnings Summary.
  2. Have your child’s school send EHS a copy of his/her academic record, or photocopy your own records and submit to us. We are seeking at least two years of grades and standardized test scores. You may use the Request for School Record form to help you.
  3. Photocopy of your child’s Immunization records.
  4. Ask a teacher that currently works with your child to fill out the Teacher Recommendation Form and when it is complete return to Courtney Knowlton, Program Director.
  5. Attend an open house.
  6. Schedule an appointment to have your child spend the day at our school.

All materials are to be submitted to Courtney Knowlton, Program Director, and all appointments should be made with her as well.


Please make photocopies of all required documents. Those families and children who will be considered after submitting these materials will be asked to come and meet with an Admissions Representative for an interview.

Acceptances will be made on a rolling basis; however, the majority of letters will be sent by June 9. Please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Knowlton at 212-876-8775 ext. 325 if you have any additional questions.
