Admissions
Requests for application forms are taken throughout the year but applications are only accepted September through November, along with a $35 fee. Parent-led tours of the school take place in November and December. In February, applicants come to the school for a play visit in a small group. We send notification by mail in early March, based on the admissions timelines by the Independent School Admission Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY).
Children applying to UPNS for the 2010-2011 school year must be 2 by September 15, 2010 for our entry level Blue Room (ages 2 and 3 years). The school gives priority to currently enrolled students, siblings of current students and of students enrolled within the last five years, and children of full-time faculty, staff and students of NYU.
