Admissions Process

The Administration and staff of Westchester Hebrew High School recognize the importance of each individual student, both personally and academically. For this reason, the process used in selecting students includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

  • Upon receipt of your application, we will send out a letter to arrange for a personal interview. An interview with members of the administrative team will be scheduled for the applicant. One or both parents are encouraged to come and speak about their child.
  • Elementary school performance, standardized testing and school recommendation will be reviewed.
  • Students are required to take the Board of Jewish examination usually administered the third Sunday in November. Registration to take the exam is through your current school.
  • Acceptance notifications will be mailed in early February as mandated by the BJE.
  • Placement tests for our classes in mathematics, English comprehension, vocabulary and composition will be administered on a Sunday in May.
