Above all, Craig is a strong, vibrant community of educators and families who are committed to helping students thrive and become the independent learners they were meant to be.
We invite you to discover our program. Through our website, Information Packet, Information Sessions, and tours, you will get a strong sense of who we are and how our program can benefit your child. Below is more detail about getting to know Craig and the specifics of our Admissions process.
GETTING TO KNOW CRAIG: OUR PROGRAM

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHILD: OUR ADMISSIONS PROCESS
1. Submit Application: Please submit a completed  Craig Application Form (213.12 kB) evaluative material, and a $50.00 application fee to us. If you wish to apply directly, you can download a Craig application form or request and fill out the copy of the form provided in the Information Packet. The completed application should be mailed to: Marci Taub, Director of Admissions, The Craig School, 10 Tower Hill Road, Mountain Lakes, NJ 07046.
2. Application & Evaluative Material Review: When we receive a completed application with evaluative material, the Admissions Committee will review it to see if we may have a program that meets your child’s needs.
3. Preliminary Screening Decision: If The Craig School does not have an appropriate program for your child, Admissions will notify you by mail approximately two weeks after receiving your application. If your child seems to be a possible candidate for The Craig School, then we will contact you approximately two weeks after receiving your application to schedule a parent visit/interview.
4. Parent Visit and Child Visit: During the parent visit, you will have an opportunity to discuss the program, to tour the school, and to visit an appropriate classroom. After the parent visit, if you are interested in completing the Admissions process, then we will schedule a child visit, which is an opportunity for your child to visit the school for the day.
Directions:
to the Lower-Middle School | to the High School
5. Admissions Decision: After the child visit, the Admissions Committee makes a final determination if The Craig School has a program and group space that meets the needs of your child. At this point, we will notify you of our Admissions decision by mail.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Marci Taub by email or by phone at (973) 334-1295. We would welcome the opportunity to be a resource for you about the program and about the Admissions process. We look forward to the possibility of connecting with you soon.
