How to enroll

Apply through MySchools. Every five-year-old NYC resident is guaranteed a kindergarten seat, and most addresses have a zoned school that gives priority to children living in its zone.

Priority order

  1. Students who live in the zone and have a sibling at the school
  2. Other students who live in the zone

If space allows, students living outside the zone may also be admitted:

  1. Students with a sibling at the school who live in the district
  2. Students with a sibling at the school who live outside the district
  3. Students who live in the district and are currently enrolled at the school for pre-K
  4. Students who live outside the district and are currently enrolled at the school for pre-K
  5. Other students who live in the district
  6. Other students who live outside the district

Key dates

This school has pre-K — 36 seats. Pre-K uses a separate MySchools application from kindergarten on its own timeline — and a child already enrolled in pre-K here still has to apply to kindergarten, though they get an admissions priority for doing so. DOE Pre-K
