Greenwood Shalom will take any child between the ages of 5 - 13 years old. We do not turn families away except for when we are above capacity.
Our partial scholarships are based on funding availability. Scholarship funding is given on a first-come first-serve basis. Families must be income eligible and submit a scholarship application as well as recent pay stubs or tax return. Our partial scholarships will not cover 100% of the program tuition. Parents will still be responsible for some portion of program cost.
Under no circumstances can students attend our program if they are exhibiting symptoms of colds, illnesses, or Covid-19. Please stay home until fever and symptoms are gone. This is for the safety of our children and staff.
