What does it take to get in? We pride ourselves on looking beyond the basic facts of standardized test scores and high school GPA. While these figures have a place in the admission process, it’s a whole lot more than that.
We seek the student who wants to learn and be a member of a community that specializes in individual attention, both academic and interpersonal. We accept students on a continuing basis throughout the year. High school applicants are encouraged to apply early in their senior year.
Applying is a simple process, but there are certain steps that should be followed to ensure a successful start.
