The Admissions Process is as follows:
- Fill out an Application (If you need help submitting your child's application or supporting documents, please make an appointment to come to the school).
- Ms. Polanco will reach out to schedule an Admission Day Visit for your child. Your student will have the opportunity to "spend a day in the life of an EHS student".
- A student interview and family interview with our Head of School Ivan Hageman will take place on the same day as the Admission Day visit.
- Submit Supporting Documents:
- Teacher Recommendation Form
- Most recent W2 or Other Annual Earnings Summary (Proof of Income)
- Report cards/school records from the past two years
- A copy of your child's immunization record and most up to date physical form
- An admissions decision is communicated by email.
Any questions regarding the admissions process, applications, and/or pending admissions decisions should be sent to Ms. Polanco at apolanco@eastharlemschool.org or 212-876-8775.
