All schools offer a standard kindergarten program, serving all learners. Zoned programs have a specific geographic area assigned to them where families receive the highest priority.

In Dual Language programs, students are taught in two languages. The goal is for English proficient students and English Language Learners to not only develop new language skills and learn academic subjects in two languages, but also practice and share language and culture with each other, becoming bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural. If you are interested in a Dual Language program, be sure to add that specific program to your kindergarten application.
You can list up to 12 choices on the application. Be sure to list the programs in true preference order, even if the programs are located at the same school. For example, if you wish to attend the G&T program at a school more than the other kindergarten program, list it higher on the application. A child's admissions priority does not change no matter which order you place choices on the application. We aim to offer you the highest possible choice on your application.
Each kindergarten applicant is also assigned a random number. If there are more applicants than available seats within a priority group, these random numbers determine the order in which students get offers.
If your family moves during the admissions process, call 718-935-2009 or contact your new zoned school to update your information and talk about changes to your kindergarten application. Additionally, you can email ESEnro...@schools.nyc.gov for support.

Please note that you are only put on the waitlist for G&T programs, if you listed it higher on your application and you were eligible.
