Upcoming ES Admissions Season

Hunter's elementary admissions office services admissions for Kindergarten only. In order to apply for the coming year, children must:

• be born in the year four years before the application year (e.g. birth year 2021 for application year 2025) and
• hold primary residency in one of the five boroughs of New York City as of September 1st of the application year.

Hunter's Kindergarten admissions season is a three part process:

• First, families fill out an application form through our Ravenna portal. This application has a fee of $50.
• Next, children test with one of our partnered child psychologists in a cognitive assessment in what we call Round 1. Testing must be done within 21 days of the application being submitted. This testing has a fee of $375.
• The final stage of admissions is Round 2, an in person experience with a small group of other children, teachers, and child psychologists. Only students who qualify through Round 1 will attend Round 2. Round 2 has no fee.

Fee waivers are available for eligible families.

Offers of enrollment take into account both rounds of our process, and will be sent out on or before ISAAGNY dates.

Please fill out the inquiry form below if you'd like to join our mailing list. Over the next few months, we will announce when our application opens as well as any new information about our process.

We look forward to hearing from you!
