  • Student Interview (Grades 5-12)

  • ISEE Registration Details (Grades 5-12)

    ISEE Registration Details
    The ISEE exam is just one piece of the admissions process. It gives our Admissions Team insight into your child’s overall academic performance. Your child may retake the ISEE test three times per year in an effort to increase performance, but each child may only take one test per season. The fall season runs from August-November, the winter season runs from December-March, and the spring/summer season runs from April-July.

  • Lower School Admissions Testing

    Students applying for Kindergarten will take the Gesell Early Screener. This tool allows the Admissions Committee to gain important and holistic information about your child’s readiness for Kindergarten. The Gesell is a twenty-minute assessment based out of the Yale Child Study Center that looks at your child’s Cognitive, Language, Motor, and Social/Emotional/Adaptive Skills – which all focus on Kindergarten readiness. Once you fill out an application, the assessment is coordinated by the Admissions Office and is scheduled in a relaxed and non-stressful manner. In addition to the Gesell, class observations and teacher input will round out the screening process. 
     
    Students who are applying to 1st through 4th grades, will take a Math and Reading assessment with the Lower School Principal when they spend a shadow day at Beth Tfiloh.

    Contact our admissions team to schedule. 410-413-2323.

FAQs

List of 6 frequently asked questions.

  • Immunization Policy

    We require students to submit proof of all age-appropriate immunizations required by the State of Maryland.

    Covid-19 vaccines are mandated for all faculty and staff and students age 16 and older, and available booster vaccines are strongly recommended. While Covid vaccines are not required for students under age 16 at the present time, we fully expect that they become a requirement once the Emergency Use Authorization is lifted.
