Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer visiting (student shadow) days?
We do offer student shadow days. We also encourage students and their parents to arrange for a personal tour of the school. This is an optional part of the admission process, but many applicant families find a tour to be both informative and a way to experience the school’s learning environment. Visiting days begin in October and tour arrangements can be made by calling the school office at (914) 967-1218 or by emailing Ms. GinaMarie Fonte at [email protected].

What sort of transporation is available to Resurrection School?
Transportation is ultimately the parents’ responsibility. However, many towns and villages in New York State provide transportation through their school districts. Please contact your local school district to determine if your school district provides busing and if you are eligible.

No. Although most students at Resurrection School are Roman Catholic, we welcome and encourage students of all faiths.

Do families who have an affiliation with Rescurrection School have an advantage in the admissions process?
Resurrection School will give priority consideration to applications from families with siblings currently enrolled in the school and from families who are registered members of The Church of the Resurrection Church or participate actively in another Catholic Church parish. However, all other considerations are equal and no admissions are ever guaranteed.
