Thank you for your interest in applying to Robert M. Beren Academy!
The RMBA Admissions Journey
New Student Application Process
- Records Release Form- please complete this form allowing us to contact your child's prior school or any other professional your child has worked with for academic, social or behavioral issues. Please see forms below.
- Teacher Recommendation Form - all students must have this form completed by a previous teacher or Head of School (not required for Early Childhood students who have not previously attended school). Please see forms below.
Copies of recent report cards, standardized test scores, and other academic or personal evaluations.
There is a non-refundable $150 application fee.
Applicant parents must meet with the Head of School. We encourage parents to understand the mission of the school and ask any questions they may have about our goals as we enter into a partnership to educate your child.
Current immunization records must be submitted to the school nurse prior to acceptance.
All prospective students meet one-on-one with at least one member of the Administrative Team. This time provides the school with a first-hand view of your child’s interpersonal skills and social-emotional development. It is also an important time for your child to ask questions and become increasingly comfortable with his or her new prospective school and the adults in our community. In most cases we also administer tests to determine where your child is academically in language arts, math, and Hebrew. We may also request that your child spend time in the classroom so that we may observe their classroom interactions with teachers and students.
Some new applicants will be asked to meet with our Academic Support Specialist or one of our learning specialists. Parents will be informed if this is a requirement.
