We get to know each child in a variety of ways, and as thoroughly as possible, during the admission process. No one piece of information is determinative: each part contributes to our overall understanding of your child. The admission process consists of parent interview, student interview and questionnaire for grades 6\u20137, review of prior school records and any standardized test results (depending on age), evaluations from current teachers, a formal application including family information, and a group visit by the applicant (Kindergarten and Grade 4 only). We also consider each candidate\u2019s social and emotional readiness for our program at all grade levels. In some cases, the admission office may request additional information if we feel more information is necessary to make an informed decision.<\/p>\n

For students applying to Kindergarten or Grade 4, the required interview is for parent(s)\/guardian(s) only. Parents will meet with an admission counselor for approximately 45 minutes. During this time we will get to know your family, and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.<\/p>\n

Student interviews are conducted for students applying to Grades 6 or 7 only. An admission officer will meet first with the student, giving us a chance to get to know them. This also gives the student an opportunity to reflect on 91探花 and ask any remaining questions they may have. After we finish talking to the student, we will invite the parent(s)\/guardian(s) for their interview. Interviews are approximately 45 minutes total in length.<\/p>\n

Upon receipt of an application, Kindergarten and Grade 4 applicants will be scheduled for a group visit. The Group Visit is an essential part of the admission process. It provides an opportunity for the prospective students to learn more about 91探花, and for our admission officers to get to know each applicant.<\/p>\n
Please note that this visit can be waived for applicants who are applying from out of state or internationally.<\/p>\n

Since this is not a formal testing procedure, there are no standardized results to share. The admission office traditionally handles a large number of applicants, and our goal is to make the process an informative and positive experience for every family. We aim to make each candidate feel welcome, comfortable, and able to be themselves during their visits with us. We also want parents to feel fully informed about 91探花, its philosophy and programs.

The waiting list is not ranked in any order, but rather is a pool of names. The candidate who best complements the space that becomes available will be chosen from the waiting list. Please note that the waiting list is not held over into the next admission cycle. We begin a new admission process at the beginning of each school year.
