Admissions Process
Application Requirements Grades Pre-K - 12
The Admission Review Committee appreciates the time and energy you devote to the application process and we look forward to reviewing your application. To request further information, please complete an online inquiry form or call the Office of Admissions at 201-327-4050 ext. 1105 to begin the process.
Deadlines for Fall 2024
Early Admissions - If you know Saddle River Day is the perfect match for your family, then we recommend applying through the early admissions program. The application due date is Friday, December 1. Families will be notified of their admissions decision by Wednesday, December 13, and must enroll before our winter vacation on Wednesday, December 20.
Why should a family apply early? There is a financial incentive, you have a guaranteed spot in the class (many grades will fill up), and you complete the process early and avoid the stress of waiting through the spring or risking getting closed out of a grade. Families can still apply for financial aid via the FAST application - www.saddleriverday.org/fast. The application is completed with 2022 taxes and a family estimate for 2023.
Regular Admissions - The deadline for our regular admissions process is January 15. The committee reviews applications throughout the end of January and then sends admissions decisions out the first week of February. Families then have until the middle of February to make their decision. Families can apply for financial aid via the FAST application - www.saddleriverday.org/fast. The application is completed with 2022 taxes and a family estimate for 2023.
Rolling Admissions - After the January 15 deadline, we use a rolling admissions process until a grade is full. Grades could be full as early as the spring or spaces could be available into the summer. Financial aid can be limited depending on the time of the year.
