How to Apply


Thank you so much for your interest in our program! Every year, Smith Street Maternelle welcomes more than 180 students on three Brooklyn campuses. We look forward to meeting you!

If you are interested in the 2025–26 school year, please fill out an inquiry form here. Information sessions and campus tours schedule will be available at the end of the summer and the application portal will open mid-September.

Thank you for your interest in our school!


* Please review the Health & Immunization Requirements before submitting an application.


STEP 1:
SUBMIT AN INQUIRY FORM

Tell us a little bit about your family! You can also register for events or begin an application.

 

STEP 2:
APPLY ONLINE

Once your inquiry form is submitted, you will receive instructions to log into our password-protected Parent Portal. Families applying for financial aid can start the process shortly after submitting the application form. There is a non-refundable application fee of $100 due when submitting your application.

PLEASE NOTE
We are unable to make admissions decisions until all 4 application items listed below have been completed:

  1. Basic Application Information

  2. Student Photo

  3. Parent Questionnaire

  4. Application Fee

Once you have completed the above checklist, your application will be automatically submitted.


STEP 3:
ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATIONS

Please note that the admissions process varies depending on the age of your child. Regular admissions notifications are sent by email according to ISAAGNY admissions dates. Rolling admissions decisions are sent as soon as possible after the application and supplemental steps, like the Child Playdate, are complete.


STEP 4:
FINALIZE ENROLLMENT

Once accepted at Smith Street, families must return their electronically completed, signed enrollment agreements along with a $5,000 non-refundable deposit within a week of receiving their acceptance letter. If you do not receive a spot, your application will be included in our rolling admissions cycle by default.


NOTE: 
Families are welcome to apply after the initial deadlines. Your application will automatically be included in our rolling admissions cycle for any open seats. As in years past, we welcomed many students off of our waitlist this school year, and we anticipate doing so again next year.
