Admissions FAQs

List of 7 frequently asked questions.

• Q: I see tour dates listed. Is this a mandatory step in the admissions process? How do I sign up for a tour?

  To begin the admissions process, we ask that parents register for a scheduled tour date to familiarize themselves with our unique learning community. On the day of the tour, guests are led through the campus and in and out of classrooms with our seasoned parent tour guides. There is additional time after the tour with our Head of School, Kathleen McNamara and our Division Heads.  Questions are answered, curriculum and philosophy are discussed, and details about the admissions process are addressed.  

• Q: How do I submit my application and is there a deadline for when my application needs to be received?

  Admissions applications are available on our portal by creating a username and password. The online application
  must be submitted by January 18, 2019 in order to be considered for enrollment by our March notification date.

• Q: What does the admissions process involve and how are decisions made?

  In making admissions decisions, the Admissions Committee reviews each application and determines each student’s ability to find academic and social/emotional success at Seven Hills. Applicants are assessed for fit at each step of the Application Checklist, which can be found by grade here. By logging into your online portal, you can view the progression of your application each step along the admissions process.
