The rich diversity of New York City and its environs is widely reflected throughout the student population of Grace Church School. The school seeks to enroll children who demonstrate the skills necessary to achieve success in our challenging curriculum and who will contribute to the life and vitality of the school community. The school welcomes families who value the important partnership between school and home. The admissions process begins in the fall prior to the year of enrollment and closes for the Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grade One on December 1.

The birthday cut-off for Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grade One is September 1.

We ask parents to submit a completed application form with a $50 fee, then to call the school to arrange a tour and an interview. All appointments for tours must be scheduled with the admissions office before December 6.

Children applying to Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grade One are seen individually or in small groups by teachers of the Early Childhood Division or the Head of the Lower School. For all other grades, children are invited to spend a morning visiting classes. A standardized test administered by the Educational Records Bureau and a current school report are required to complete the admissions process.

Depending on grade placement, parents will be notified of acceptances for the next academic year from mid-February to early March according to the dates specified by the Independent School Admissions Association of Greater New York. A signed enrollment agreement and a $4,000 non-refundable deposit will secure a child's place.
