The test is administered at various times during the school year. The admissions packet includes a test brochure. The test is multiple choice and consists of verbal and mathematical sections and takes 3 hours to complete. Cost for the testing, payable to Educational Records Bureau, will be assumed by the parent of the applicant.

Decision

Each application will be reviewed as soon as the admissions process is complete. Applications are considered individually by the Admissions Committee. Applicants will be notified of their status soon after completion of all admissions procedures. Students are considered for admission to Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy based on evidence of the applicant's desire and potential for success in a dual college preparatory/Judaic Studies program. Upon acceptance, a prompt reply and return of the enrollment contract, along with an enrollment deposit, is required to reserve a student's place at Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy. The enrollment deposit is non-refundable and is applied toward the final tuition payment of the year. Those applying after the January deadline are considered on a space-available basis and will be notified on a rolling basis as the process is completed.
