    Parents who complete the application process by February 15, as the school recommends, will be notified by March 10. Those applying and accepted after March 10 will be admitted as space is available. When there are more viable candidates than openings in a class, and all other factors appear equal, preference is given by the Admission Committee first to siblings of students currently enrolled and second to children of Country School alumni.

    The Country School admits students without regard
    to interest in tuition assistance.
