We will be leading optional, small group tours throughout the admissions season. Registration is via Ravenna on a first-come, first-served basis. If you do not have an ability to tour in the fall, we will also be offering all accepted families a tour in February once decisions are released. 

Please visit our Admissions Events page for more information and a listing of upcoming events.

All grade 1 applicants must submit the Independent School Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY) confidential school report. This report is to be given to your child’s current school and must be submitted directly from their school to ours. If your child presently attends an ISAAGNY school, they can supply you with the form. It can also be downloaded from this page. If your child is not currently enrolled in a Kindergarten program, please contact our Admissions office to discuss alternative options.

All grade 2-5 applicants must have their current school submit official transcripts from the past two years. The transcript release form found below is to be given to your child’s current school and the transcripts must be submitted directly from their school to ours. Additionally, your child’s teacher should complete the confidential recommendation form (see form below). If the transcript and teacher recommendation form are not completed in English, an official translation must also be provided.

Once you have submitted an application, you will be able to schedule your virtual parent interview via Ravenna. We will be conducting parent interviews for grades 1-5 via Zoom throughout the admissions season.
