The Innovative School of Temple Beth Sholom is a Reggio inspired Jewish community dedicated to joyful learning and Tikkun Olam, the Jewish value of making the world a better place. Our holistic approach to admissions considers each family’s mission-alignment with our school philosophy, embodiment of our KEHILLA values, and commitment to our Temple Beth Sholom community. Elementary school applicants are additionally assessed on their academic profile, character and citizenship.
With questions, please email admissions@innovativeschool.org.
Children who are attending programs at the Innovative School of Temple Beth Sholom are required to have completed the age-appropriate vaccine schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Admissions for New Families
8 Weeks - 18 Months
Our Infant class is limited to a combined total of 16. We have six teachers, and our caregiver-to-child ratio is 1:3.2.
Enrollment occurs on a rolling basis, and is open year-round. While we are currently full, we encourage you to join our wait pool. The best time to contact us would be when you are aware that you are expecting. This will help start the conversation about either the best time to enroll, or allow us to add your child to the wait pool.

Admissions Timeline
Below is the recommended timeline for applicant families
Enrollment for Current Families
As you know, we have transitioned to a continuous enrollment system. This means that your child’s enrollment will automatically renew each year. For families looking to make a change in their child’s education, there will be an “opt-out” period each year, during which you may withdraw your child for the following year if needed. Please be on the lookout for emails regarding the start of the opt out period in December.
Sibling Policy: If you are planning to enroll a sibling who will be new to the Innovative School for 2027-2028, you must submit an application for the new sibling by the December 18 deadline. While your child will receive priority consideration, you will receive an admissions decision in February.
