Admissions

Applications are available to families from October through May. Student candidates and their families who complete all parts of the application process are considered for the new academic year beginning with two weeks of summer orientation in August.

Interested candidates must meet the following criteria for consideration:

• qualify for free- or reduced- lunch, with proof of family income
• be likely to enter sixth, seventh, or eighth grade at his or her current school

Applicants must then do/complete the following:

• submit a completed admissions application, which includes a written statement from the parent or guardian and a written statement from the student candidate
• submit a copy of each of the following documents – the student candidate’s birth certificate, Social Security card, immunization records, most recent report card, standardized test, and two letters of recommendation
• attend a full-day visit at our school
• complete an interview with our director of admissions
• complete an in-house admissions exam (i.e., school-administered and school-scored).

Admissions decisions are made by a committee of full-time faculty, under the guidance of our director of admissions, with all components of a student candidate’s application considered.
