Admission Criteria

Prospective students do not need a formal diagnosis or referral to access school services. We encourage parents to apply if their child is two or more years below grade level in areas such as academic, social-emotional, or physical development.

KCC welcomes children of all needs and abilities. School placement priority will be given to members of the Jewish community. Non-Jewish families who wish to apply will be placed on a waiting list and encouraged to seek support and services through our therapy clinic.
