ADMISSIONS
Thank you for your interest in Beit Rabban Day School! We’re so glad you’re here.
The admissions process is a critical moment in the life of your family. School is a place of achievement and growth, but it is also a place to call home. Throughout the year, we offer many opportunities for prospective families to deepen their understanding of our school through a hybrid of in-person and virtual programming – and we hope to welcome you to Beit Rabban in the near future. Please email or call with questions or to schedule an introductory conversation. You can also gain insight into our school by following us on social media and subscribing to our weekly newsletter.
We know the application process can at times feel overwhelming, particularly in New York, and we are eager to help your family navigate that process at Beit Rabban.
Looking forward to getting to know you!
Rebecca Leicht, Director of Admissions

We are eager to welcome families into the admissions process at all points of the year should we have available space in your grade of interest.
TUITION 2023-2024
Like all things, we consider financing a Jewish day school education to be a partnership between our school and your family. Day school is an expensive proposition — our costs per child exceed the price of tuition. We also recognize that tuition is a challenge for many families. We address this challenge by offering families three tuition options: Full Tuition, The Affordability Initiative, and Scholarship Support.
