Applications are accepted at any time, but families are urged to apply by January for the following school year. Final decisions regarding a student's application will not be made until all of the necessary documentation has been received. After receiving the Highland information packet, parents are encouraged to call the School for an appointment. This initial parent interview and visit includes a tour of the School, an overview of the programs at Highland School and a meeting with the Headmaster, when possible. The student and family complete and return the Admissions Questionnaire.
Parents submit teacher recommendation forms from the student's present school.
Every effort is made to ensure that Highland School and the student are well matched and that the applicant will experience success at Highland. Notification of the Admissions Committee's decision is normally mailed within two weeks of the completion of all admissions requirements. Once an applicant is accepted to the School, parents are offered an enrollment contract. This contract is to be signed and returned with a non-refundable deposit, which will be applied toward the tuition fee. Only children who are 4 years old by September 30 in their year of entry will be considered for admittance.
