FAQs

At what age can my child attend Hyde Park Schools?

Students applying to 4K/*4K Flex need to be 4 years old on or before September 1.  Students applying to Kindergarten need to be 5 years old on or before September 1.  *4K Flex is a shorter school day.  Students arrive at 8am and leave at 1pm.  Students in our full day 4's program arrive at 8am and leave at 3pm.

What is the difference between 4K and 4K Flex

Our 4K program is 5 days a week from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.  4K Flex is also a 5 day program but offers a shorter day, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., to help ease young learners into the rhythm of school.  4K Flex students participate in all academic and enrichment lessons.

Is it possible to enter HPS mid-year?

Yes, we will take a student mid-year if he/she meets our requirements and space is available.

What testing is needed?

Students applying to grades 6-12 take the ISEE or the SSAT. Students applying to 4K - 5th grade come on campus for a skills based assessment.

Does Hyde Park have a wait list/wait pool?

When a grade is full, we utilize a wait pool.  Our wait pool is not a “list” with a position ranking (1,2,3, etc.,) but rather a “pool” of qualified applicants for whom there were no available spots.  Should an opening become available, the Admission Committee will convene, review all applicants and select the most appropriate candidate for the opening. If a space does not become available and you would like to roll your application to the next admissions cycle, we will do so at no additional cost, however, we will ask you to update the items in your portal checklist.
