Admissions Calendar

1. Schedule your campus visit and interview
Want to really know what a day is like at JCHS? All 8th graders are invited to “shadow” a current student to get a sense of the school day. Talk to students and teachers, meet with the Director of Admissions, preview classes, take a personal tour of the campus, and enjoy our kosher lunch, made in our own kitchen using local ingredients. We will begin scheduling shadow dates for the 2012-13 school year in late August. Learn more about your JCHS visit.

2. Schedule a Parent/Guardian tour
A parent/guardian tour is strongly encouraged for parents who have not had a child attend JCHS. The tour allows for one-on-one time with the Director of Admissions and an opportunity to see campus life.
