Admissions

Welcome from the Admissions Office

Thank you for your interest in Golda Och Academy! We are proud to nurture the unique potential of every student through our exceptional dual curriculum in Jewish and general studies.

At GOA, students are challenged, supported, and inspired — developing a lifelong love of learning and a strong commitment to Jewish values. While our students come from over 60 communities and a range of Jewish backgrounds, our school feels like one close-knit family. Whether joining in Pre-K or High School, students are welcomed into a warm, nurturing environment by dedicated faculty, staff, and peers.

Welcome to the Admissions Office

We take great care in reviewing each application to get to know the whole student. Depending on the grade level, the admissions process may include an interview, review of academic records, test scores, and teacher recommendations.

We offer regular information sessions, private tours, and a clear, supportive admissions process from Pre-K through Upper School. Admissions applications are submitted online, and our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

If you plan to apply for financial aid, please do so at the same time as your admissions application. Financial aid reviews take time, and submitting both applications together ensures we can provide thoughtful consideration before enrollment decisions are due.
We’re excited to get to know your family — and we encourage you to reach out with any questions!

Private Tours

We look forward to taking the next step with you as you explore the educational opportunity available at Golda Och Academy. Please contact Sari Allen in our Admissions Office to schedule an individual tour — it's the best way to get to know GOA!
