We invite all prospective families to view the Why Wornick video on our Begin Your Wornick Journey page, visit our Why Wornick? page to learn about our community and operations, and our Virtual Tour page. A parent admissions meeting is also highly encouraged. To request a virtual meeting with our Director of Admissions, please complete an inquiry form.

Other admissions events, including our Learn About Wornick Event on November 16, 2025 and our Sunday morning activity events for 3-5 year olds, provide an excellent opportunity to get to know our program. Register for events here.

Please complete our online application by the deadline of January 16, 2026. To do so, please click on the blue "Apply Now" button above, which will take you to the application platform, FACTS, which Wornick uses to manage its applications. Please create an account, and then fill out your application for Ronald C. Wornick Jewish Day School. If you have another student currently at Wornick, you can log in to FACTS with your current credentials, and on the home page click on Apply/Enroll located on the left menu. From there, create a New Student application.

The online application includes:

• Parent and Student Profiles
• Parent Questionnaire
• Uploading a copy of your student's birth certificate
• Delegate the confidential teacher evaluation form to your child's current teacher by entering their name and email in this section. This form will be sent to that person upon submission of your application and payment. 
• Applicants to Grades 1-5 must submit a request for student records to your current school. To do so, enter the school contact and email in this section of the application. This request will be sent to that person upon submission of your application and payment. All records must be received by the application deadline. The request for student records form is available for download from the online application, or here.
• Application fee of $100, payable by credit card as part of the online application. If the application fee represents a hardship for your family, please contact the Director of Admissions.

Wornick is committed to making our school available to a diverse community and offers tuition assistance to families showing a demonstrated need. Tuition Assistance information is available here. Please note that the application deadline for tuition assistance is February 4, 2026.
