The Jewish Community School of the Desert seeks to enroll students who will benefit from its values, purposes and programs. Applicants for admission are evaluated to determine their general aptitudes and competencies.
This evaluation includes a test of academic proficiency administered during the applicant’s visit to the school. The Head of School or designee determines screening and placement of students. Decisions on admissions will take into account the applicant’s performance in the evaluation session, his or her history in previous schools and information gained in personal interviews with the family and applicant.
Application forms may be obtained from the school office. Parents of students applying to the Jewish Community School of the Desert for the first time must submit academic records from the previous school (if applicable) together with the application form. When the completed application, along with the non-refundable, non-transferable $100 fee is received, the student is eligible for consideration.
Tuition
Each year parents enter into an enrollment contract with the Jewish Community School of the Desert and agree to pay the tuition and fees as established by the Board of Trustees.
Tuition Payment Agreement Form
Tuition Aid
It is the earnest desire of the Board of Trustees that no child whose parents are in agreement with the policy of the school, and who is well qualified for admission, should be denied the opportunity of enrollment solely because of inability to pay the full tuition fees. Consequently the Board of Trustees has established the Tuition Aid program.
