Touring The School
In order to tour the school during the school day, parents must first submit an application. Once you have applied, you will receive an email from us to set up a tour. Tours begin on October 15, 2008 and will take place Monday through Thursday beginning at 9:30AM. Tours are about one-and-a-half hours long and are for parents only.

Playsessions & Child Visits
In early December parents who have applied to Claremont Children's School will receive a play session appointment letter in the mail. Play sessions are held in January. We strongly urge parents to try to attend their scheduled visit because children are grouped by age, and rescheduling can be difficult. Children are observed in small groups for approximately half an hour. Only one adult will be permitted to accompany each child into the classroom and children are not expected to separate from a parent or caregiver at the play session.

Notification
Claremont Children's School follows the ISAAGNY notification schedule for all applicants except as concerns siblings and first choice applicants. Siblings and first choice applicants receive priority status and early notification. Claremont Children's School does not discriminate on any basis.

Diversity
Claremont Children's School is committed to creating a community that is racially, ethnically, religiously, and economically diverse. Claremont Children's School admits children of any race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin. It does not discriminate in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, or any other school-administered programs.
