Application Requirements 

• Personal tour and one-on-one conversation with the Director of Enrollment. We give private tours to parents/caregivers on Monday-Friday at 9:30am, 10:30am, and 1:30pm. Middle school applicants may join for the tour. Please register for a tour on Ravenna or contact the admissions office at admissions@hannahsenesh.org to schedule a tour. 
• Complete application on Ravenna. To apply to Senesh, visit Ravenna where you can create a new account, or log in with your existing account. Search the School Directory for “Hannah Senesh Community Day School” and click the APPLY button. When you get to the Hannah Senesh page on Ravenna, make sure the year in the “Applying for the fall of” dropdown menu at the top of the page is the appropriate year. Through Ravenna you will be able to apply online, email Teacher Evaluation Forms to your child’s teachers, and check the status of your application. Applications are due Dec. 31st. We accept rolling admissions when space allows. 
• School transcripts. Inform your child’s current school that you are applying to Senesh and have transcripts for the current year and the two years before (or as many as possible for those applying for kindergarten through 2nd grade) emailed to admissions@hannahsenesh.org.
• Two teacher recommendations. Once in your Ravenna account, please delegate two teachers to fill out the Teacher Evaluation Form. We ask that current teachers start to work on the form in December, a few months into the school year and after your child’s teacher has had time to get to know your child. Teachers will be able to submit these forms directly through Ravenna.
• Student visit/assessment with Senesh staff. Once an application is received and processed, a child visit/assessment will be scheduled. Kindergarten and first grade applicants will be invited to a group playdate. Second through eighth grade applicants will be invited for a school visit where they will meet with Senesh administrators, engage in educational activities, and have the opportunity to visit classes. These visits/assessments may be virtual or in-person. 

Please note, we follow the notification and reply dates determined by the Independent Schools Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY).
