Admission Procedure

Thank you for your interest in learning more about a Japhet School education. We believe that education of children is a shared responsibility between the school, family and the community. Our faculty focuses on educating the whole child, and establishing a strong basis for academic, physical, moral, social and character development.

Japhet School enrolls students with a wide range of intellectual experiences and provides opportunities to be successful because we believe all students possess talents and gifts.

Japhet School hosts two Open House events annually where families can tour classrooms with a student host, meet teachers and staff and discover the difference that a Japhet School education can make for your child. The dates and times of these events can be found on our website.

VISIT

Japhet School expects that prospective grade-level students – those applying for first through eighth grades – visit their current and potential classroom for two full school days. This visit allows the students to explore the classroom, curriculum, school culture and the community. It also allows teachers to assess the academic and social strengths of each student.

Prospective Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten students are expected to visit the classroom for a morning session which enables exploration by students and assessment by the teacher and staff.

Families interested in joining our Preschool and Pre-K program are expected to complete a student and parent morning visit. This visit lasts approximately 1.5 hours and affords teachers the opportunity to gauge the readiness of prospective students and to glean some insight into the relationship shared by the parent and child while providing parents with a look into the day of a Preschool student.
