Community High School Admissions
Thank you for your interest in the Community School. We hope that you will join us at an Open House to tour our school, observe our students and teachers in the classroom and learn more about our exceptional program. For additional information, visit our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
Community High School has a rolling admissions policy, and applications are accepted throughout the school year. Enrollment is open to both private and public school students in New York and New Jersey. Students are selected on the basis of their ability to benefit from the Community High School program. It is advisable to apply early, since space is limited.
