Admission Process & Application | The Green Vale School

Let us help you get started!

We are now accepting applications for the 2021-22 school year, at all grade levels. Applications are processed on a rolling basis, and decisions are communicated on the last Friday of every month. New students may apply into any grade depending on their qualifications and capacity.

We are proud to receive applications from families throughout Long Island. The current student body represents more than 42 different school districts in Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens counties.

Admissions Process

Step 1: Get to know Green Vale

Step 2: Submit an application

Using Green Vale’s secure Admissions Portal, enter your existing credentials or create a new account on behalf of a child who is applying for admission. Once registered, you may add additional applicants using the “+ Apply Another Child” button on the right hand side of the screen.

There is a non-refundable $75 application fee, which has been waived for our early applicants.

Once created, you may access the GVS Admission Portal at any time to provide additional materials and check on the status of your application(s).

Step 3: Teacher recommendation and school records

Once an application has been received, a checklist will appear within the Admission Portal that will allow you to request a release of your child’s academic records and request a confidential teacher recommendation.

For students applying for Early Childhood (Pre-Nursery - Kindergarten), we ask that you submit to the Admission Office a recent progress or end of year report.

For all IEPs, please share any recent documentation directly with the Green Vale Admissions Office.

Step 4: Parent interview and student visit

Step 5: Admission decision and enrollment

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, however we strongly recommend submitting applications for Early Childhood (PN-Kindergarten) before January 15th.

Regardless of affiliation, all applicants must meet the admissions standards of the school.

The Admissions Committee meets monthly to review any completed applicant files and render an admissions decision by the last Friday of the month. Decisions will be posted to the Admission Portal, and communicated by the Director of Admissions.

Step 6: Submit Financial Aid Application (if applicable)
