Admissions
Enrolling your child
We welcome your interest in Providence Hebrew Day School and strive to make the admissions process as easy as possible. Here's an outline of the process:- Parents make an appointment to visit Providence Hebrew Day School and are interviewed by a member (or members) of the administration. Potential students are also offered the opportunity to spend a day at the school.
- Parents then complete a registration application, which includes all relevant records from previous schools. A registration fee must accompany the application. Upon acceptance to the school, this check is cashed.
- Upon acceptance, parents are required to sign the school’s contract agreeing to abide by the school’s principles and ideals.
- Once all parental financial obligations have been satisfied, students are officially admitted to the school.
