Decision Process


An Admission Committee reviews all applications. The Committee is comprised of faculty from all grade-levels, division heads and members of the admission staff. All applicants' academic and personal information is reviewed carefully in order to make the best admission decision for each student. Inevitably, as is the case every year, there will be more applications than spaces available. Decisions are emailed to each family directly from the Director of Admission.
