Resurrection Episcopal Day School

Resurrection Episcopal Day School describes a Montessori-based teaching philosophy guided by Maria Montessori and AMI principles, focused on the intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical development of the whole child. Its approach emphasizes individualized, hands-on learning; mixed-age community life; independence and choice-making within guided limits; and social development through respect, cooperation, courtesy, inclusivity, and interconnectedness.

REDS says the 2026-2027 admissions deadline has passed, and families interested in 2027-2028 should begin by attending a required, adults-only Open House, then submit the application; after applying, families receive access to schedule the required school tour, admissions conversation, and 20-minute observational child visit. (redsny.org) Key posted dates for the 2027-2028 cycle are: application opens after Labor Day 2026 and is due by November 15, 2026; Open Houses are scheduled for September 30, 2026 from 2:00-3:30pm and October 28, 2026 from 5:30-7:00pm. (redsny.org) Eligibility requirements include REDS’s age cutoffs: Primary applicants must have birthdays in or before March 2025, while Toddler applicants must have birthdays between April 2025 and January 2026; start dates vary for some younger applicants based on birthday. (redsny.org) The application form asks for student and parent/guardian information, sibling information, Church of the Resurrection membership, REDS friends/relatives, Open House attendance, a parent/guardian financial-responsibility signature, and an uploaded parent statement describing the child/family, interest in Montessori, REDS fit, and connection with the school’s spiritual and cultural community. (redsny.org) REDS does not appear to publish waitlist procedures or explicit admissions priority categories on the pages reviewed; the closest indicators are that the application collects sibling, Church of the Resurrection membership, and REDS friend/relative information, but the site does not state that these are preferences or priorities.
