To apply to Classes V-VIII for your daughter, you will need to schedule two appointments: a family interview and a Schoolhouse tour. We have created two tracks for you to choose from:

Track 1 (Hybrid Option): In-person family Schoolhouse tour; virtual family interview

After you submit your application, you will have access to the appointment calendar to schedule a time for your family to come visit in-person for a Schoolhouse tour with a student tour guide.

You will make a second appointment for a virtual family interview with a member of our admissions team. It may be helpful for you to schedule the virtual interview appointment to happen after the Schoolhouse tour, but it is not required.

Track 2 (Fully In-Person Option): In-person family Schoolhouse tour; in-person family interview

After you submit your application, you will have access to the appointment calendar to schedule a time for you to take a tour of the Schoolhouse with a student tour guide, followed by an in-person family interview with a member of our admissions team.*

All interview appointments after December 6 will be virtual appointments.
