Above all, this is an independent school. No negotiating, no influence peddling, no abusive, intrusive arguments are invited. We make our decisions. Deadlines for application Applications should be submitted in the fall preceding the year of desired entry. Exceptions may be made for families moving to the city during the spring or summer.
Individual consideration is the essence of both our admission and educational processes.
Notification of decisions Notification of admissions decisions will be sent in February. Students receiving a notice of acceptance are expected to reply with a non-refundable deposit that will be applied towards tuition. When applicants in their early teens are being considered, all other considerations are waived when confronted with a student poet whose work rivets our attention, a student artist of such sweeping power that his or her gift is self-evident, a student musician whose sophistication is manifest in his or her performance. We are perfectly aware that psychometrics cannot tease out such fundamental additions to a school or to our society. Our teachers and our admissions people can.
