The process

Four steps, in order

04

Joint interview

Parents and student together, scheduled individually once the checklist is complete.

Worth knowing first

Three things families check before applying

Students enroll from states across the country and from abroad, so most families settle boarding and cost questions before they submit the form. All three pages are linked here.

Day or dorm

The boys dormitory sits inside the school building and holds 30 students with 10 chaperones.

What the year costs

Day and dorm figures for 2026/2027, payment plans, sibling discount, and the refund policy.

If cost is a barrier

Need based awards from 1% to 35% of tuition, decided independently of the admission decision.

Questions parents ask
