Admissions

Find your child’s place here.

The best way to know whether a school is right for your family is to stand in its hallways on an ordinary Tuesday. Come walk our campus, sit in on a class, and meet the teachers who will know your child by name. We would love to host you.

Schedule your visit See Open House dates
Schedule a tour

Come see the school in action.

Half-day visits every Tuesday and Thursday during the school year. Small-group tours on weekends by appointment. Fill in a few details and we’ll reach out within one business day.

This form collects adult contact information only. Please do not submit any information about children under 13. Your information is used by the Admissions Office to schedule your visit and will not be shared with advertisers. See our Privacy Notice.

Open Houses & Visits

Three ways to get to know us.

Big or small, formal or quiet — there is a way to visit that fits your family. Every visit is led by people who actually teach here, not a marketing office.

Fall Open Houses

A morning on campus.

Meet our division heads, tour the classrooms, and hear from current parents and students. Coffee at 9:00, program at 9:30, walking tours after.

Small-Group Tours

A closer look, fewer people.

Weekday-morning tours for two or three families at a time, led by a member of the admissions team. Roughly ninety minutes, with plenty of room for the questions that matter to you.

Half-Day Shadow Visits

Let your child try us on.

Applicants in Grades 5 through 12 spend a half day paired with a current student — real classes, lunch in the dining hall, and a true feel for the day. Scheduled once an inquiry is underway.

Tuition & Financial Aid

An honest word about cost.

We believe families deserve real numbers early, not after they have fallen in love with the place. Tuition for the 2026–27 year runs by division, and a meaningful share of our families pay something other than the full figure.

$24,800
Lower School · PreK–Grade 4. Includes daily lunch, world-language instruction, and outdoor learning.
$29,400
Middle School · Grades 5–8. Includes advisory, the full afternoon arts and athletics program, and most field study.
$33,900
Upper School · Grades 9–12. Includes AP and honors coursework, college counseling from Grade 9, and the senior Capstone.

Need-based financial aid is available at every grade, and about 38% of our families receive an award. Aid is reviewed through a confidential, third-party process and is renewed each year a family qualifies. Awards range from a few thousand dollars to the substantial majority of tuition.

Please do not rule yourself out over cost. If this is the right school for your child, talk to us — many families are surprised by what is possible, and the conversation is always private and without obligation.

The Path In

What a visit — and an application — looks like.

Four unhurried steps, with a real person from our office walking beside you at each one.

1
Inquire. Tell us a little about your family using the form above. We respond to every inquiry within one business day — no automated queue.
2
Visit & tour. Come for an Open House, a small-group tour, or a half-day shadow visit. This is the part that matters most — see the school as it really is.
3
Apply. Submit the application, a transcript, and a teacher recommendation or two. Applications are due January 15. We read every file carefully — no checklist sorting.
4
Decision & enroll. Decisions and financial-aid offers arrive together in early March. Accept your place, and we will start getting your child ready for September.

FROM THE BUILDER OF THIS DEMO

Want a site like this for your school?

I built every page, the CMS, and the database you just used — and I can have your school’s own version live in 4–6 weeks, for a fraction of what you pay Finalsite or Blackbaud. No templates, you own the site — on a simple monthly to host and look after it.
