Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church Day School

Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church presents teaching as a way of bringing people into the transforming presence of Jesus Christ through worship, teaching the Word, and Christian nurture. Its approach emphasizes Scripture-rooted, Reformed Christian formation that is also inclusive and open to questioning, using Bible studies, theology lectures, discussion groups, and age-appropriate, engaging learning experiences for children and adults alike.

MAPC’s website says admissions for The Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church Day School are handled through the MAPCDS site, where families can apply online. (mapc.com) Families create an admissions account, complete forms, upload documents/checklists through the portal, and for the 2026-2027 cycle a child had to be 2 years old by September 1, 2026 to apply for preschool admission. (mapc.schooladminonline.com) The published timeline says applications opened August 1, 2025, an in-person open house was offered in October, the application deadline was November 30, 2025, and applicant families could book tours, join “Community Conversations,” and schedule child play visits from October through February. (mapcds.org) Regular decisions were scheduled for February 26, 2026, with replies due by noon on March 5, 2026; eligible early-decision families had to opt in by November 30, 2025, received decisions on December 5, 2025, and had to reply by noon on December 12, 2025. (mapcds.org) Priority/early-decision categories are explicitly listed as siblings, legacies (children of MAPCDS alumnae), and Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church members active for the prior two years, but the public admissions pages do not publish a separate waitlist policy, so no official waitlist details were found.
