Admissions Process
Thank you for your interest in Jewish Academy of Orlando!
The Jewish Academy of Orlando (JAO) offers a Tuition Assistance program and will also aid families through State funded scholarship programs. It is our goal to help make tuition affordable for our families. Please read and carefully complete the steps outlined below to apply for admission.
STEP 3: Complete the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment Application
(ONLY for Tuition Assistance Applicants)
The Jewish Academy of Orlando uses a third party company named FACTS to verify your financial information. You must complete the FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment application by the end of March, 2023. To apply for FACTS, please click the button and follow the instructions on their site.
(ONLY for Tuition Assistance Applicants)
If the Tuition Assistance Self Evaluation tool determines you are eligible for Step Up, then you must apply for and receive Step Up to receive the additional JAO Tuition Assistance.
To apply for Step Up, please click the button and apply for a Scholarship to a Private School, and follow the instructions on this site. If the site is not ready to accept applications for the 2023-24 school year, then a required sign up to be notified when you can apply will be necessary.
IMPORTANT: Please complete your application(s) as soon as possible. JAO and Step Up have limited funds available, and will be based on a first come, first serve basis along with the receipt of all supporting documents required.
Please contact the JAO Admissions Office for any questions at 407.647.0713 or email [email protected]
Once your child’s application is complete, we will send you a teacher questionnaire form. After we receive the questionnaire, we will schedule a screening assessment for your child. Following the screening, you will have the opportunity to meet with our staff to discuss the screening results.
A letter regarding your child’s acceptance will be mailed a short time after your meeting. Enrollment in Jewish Academy is complete when you return the signed enrollment contract.
