Application Process

List of 7 items.

• Submit an Inquiry

  To request information and initiate contact with our Admissions Office, please take a few minutes to complete our inquiry form. This ensures we receive your contact information and add you to our MyShore system so you do not miss pertinent news about the Admissions cycle.

• Virtual Tour or On-Campus Visit (Optional)

  We invite you to view our virtual tour at your leisure. It provides an opportunity to see our campus and learn about Shore from the comfort of your home.

  
  

  Additionally, we are pleased to offer in-person tours (optional) to adults who are masked and vaccinated. Join us on campus by scheduling your tour here. Following the tour, you’ll briefly meet with a member of the Admissions team.

  
  

  If you choose not to tour in person, we request that you schedule a conversation with us so that we can learn about you and your family and answer any questions you may have. Please contact Daphne Faldi at dfaldi@shoreschool.org.

• Complete an Application Online

  Using the MyShore portal, applicants must complete an Online Application which asks for additional family information and serves as the foundation for your child’s candidacy throughout the application process. There is an application fee of $50. If the application fee presents a hardship for your family, please reach out to Daphne Faldi (dfaldi@shoreschool.org) for a waiver code.

• Complete the Parent/Guardian Questionnaire

  The Parent/Guardian Questionnaire is an important part of your child’s application to Shore. Your perspective as parents/guardians is helpful in developing a complete understanding of your child. After submitting an application form, the Admissions team will activate the Parent/Guardian Questionnaire in your MyShore account. If you cannot access the form, please notify Ali Jahn (ajahn@shoreschool.org).

• Request Information from Your Child’s School

  Learning about your child’s current school experience is important to us; therefore, a variety of supporting documents are requested as part of the application process from your child’s current teacher and school. In your MyShore account, you will see an application checklist that will help identify and provide active links and downloads to the appropriate forms. The AISNE Student Evaluation can be shared directly with your child’s teacher(s), and the School Records request should be sent to the school office.

• Admissions Assessment

  Shore has designed an assessment process for each grade level with the goal of learning as much about your child as possible. The assessment is intended to evaluate academic and developmental readiness across various subject areas. It is just one part that contributes to our overall determination of your child’s readiness for our program. Assessments will take place in person. Additional information will be provided in January.
