Application Process

Complete the online application for admission and submit it with the student autobiography and $150 application fee. The purpose of the autobiography is to acquaint the admissions committee with the applicant and might be based on a student’s favorite subjects, extracurricular activities, hobbies, special talents, and/or unique experiences (e.g. trips, summer camps, etc.). An application is considered active once the application, student autobiography, and fee are submitted to the Admissions Office.

The following forms should be downloaded, printed, and given to the applicant’s school and teachers. These forms are due after December 1, 2019, but no later than January 17, 2020:

For 7th Grade applicants: Because applications have increased dramatically, we will not be able to interview everyone. To enhance your opportunity to receive a one-on-one interview, please file your application, along with the autobiography, by November 13, 2019. Once we have received your application and student autobiography, the Admissions Committee will screen applicants and determine if an interview will be granted. The final application deadline is December 5, 2019, at midnight. 

For 8th through 11th Grade applicants: As space is very limited in upper grades, the Admissions Committee will conduct an initial screening of all applicants for each grade and then select candidates for a personal interview. Selected candidates will be notified by phone with an interview date. If an interview is not granted, you will be notified by mail in December or January. Upper School applicants must take the ISEE by December 8, 2019, to be included in this evaluation. 

The final application deadline is December 5, 2019, at midnight
