Admissions Process

Each year it gives us great pleasure to welcome new families into our community. We hope the following guidelines will help you with the process.

Eligibility

Your child must be two by June 1st, 2024 in order to apply for our entry level Twos/Threes Class beginning in September 2023. If your child misses our cut-off date you may be interested in our Toddler Group. You can find more information about our Toddler Program HERE.

How to Apply

Applications for the 2024-2025 are now available HERE.

Open Houses

We would like families to attend one of our Open Houses to learn more about our program and have the opportunity to tour the school for the first timel. You will meet our Director along with teachers who will articulate our mission and our program. You will also meet parents in our community whose children currently attend Chelsea Day School. It is a fun and highly informative evening for parents.

Our Open Houses will be held in October 2024 and you may attend without having submitted an application. You will be able to rsvp for your preferred evening once the dates are posted. We hope you’ll join us.

    Family Meetings

    Once an application is received we would love to have the opportunity to meet your family and will schedule a Family Meeting with you. We meet with families from November to February. Notifications are then sent according to the current ISAAGNY dates in early March.

    Tuition Assistance

    We are an inclusive community and are committed to every family having the opportunity to be part of our school. Each year Chelsea Day School offers need-based financial aid to eligible families. Chelsea Day School utilizes the School and Student Services (SSS) for financial aid by NAIS. The amount of aid received by families ranges from partial to almost full tuition assistance. Families from a wide range of income levels have qualified for aid, based on individual family circumstances.

    Thank you for your interest in Chelsea Day School and we look forward to meeting you and your family soon.
