Middle School

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 Open House on December 4, 2022 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. 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 application includes:

• Parent and Student Profiles
• Parent Questionnaire
• Student Questionnaire, to be completed by the student applicant
• Uploaded copy of your child's birth certificate
• Confidential student evaluation form, to be completed by your child's current teacher. Please copy the link, email it to the teacher, and instruct them to complete it and email it to admissions@wornickjds.org. 
• Applicants to Middle School must submit a request for student records to your current school. Please sign the form and provide it to your child's current school. 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.

Generally, applicants to Middle School are required to attend a Middle School Shadow Day. At this time we are monitoring COVID-19 conditions and will advise applicants how we will be proceeding. 

Middle School applicants will take assessment tests in both writing and math. Wornick has made the determination that we will not require outside testing. 

Wornick is committed to making our school available to a diverse community and offers tuition assistance to families showing a demonstrated need. Applications for Tuition Assistance are due February 8, 2023. Please click here for Tuition Assistance information.

Upon completion of the above steps, the Admission Committee will carefully review each application. Admissions decisions and tuition assistance information will be mailed on March 15, 2023, and emailed on March 16, 2023 in accordance with the practices of the Bay Area Independent Schools.
