Grade 1 through Grade 8
The applicant's current grade level and achievement, as well as date of birth, are used to determine grade placement.
We adhere to the September 1 cutoff date unless there is significant evidence or reason to consider otherwise. We do so because appropriate social/emotional placement is more likely within set chronological limits. Appropriate social placement supports a student's confidence in taking the necessary risks involved in learning. At all grade levels, Far Hills Country Day School challenges students to achieve their greatest potential.
