Get Ready For Next Year!
If you know you want to attend the 14Y Preschool in the Fall of 2020, you are eligible for our 2020-2021 Preschool Admission Early Decision Option! This lets you apply and get an answer before our General Pool applicants.
All you need to do is:
- Fill out a Preschool application
- Email your ED preference to Preschool Director, Nili Shriber at NShriber@14streety.org
The deadline to let us know that you are interested in Early Decision is January 17, 2020. Choosing Early Decision increases your chances but does not guarantee a placement.
